Expected more ships and the museum should be spread in a much larger space like an auto museum or an aircraft museum.

Leuk museum vanalles te doen voor kinderen, kaartje online kopen ging makkelijk

A bit disappointing to be honest. I thought it was lacking in content overall. When you consider the role of the Dutch in the development of modern capitalism, their colonial expansion, shipbuilding (the fluyt), the wars with Britain, the development of Amsterdam, the Water Defence Lines - MORE!

Das martime Museum in Hamburg in der Speicherstadt gefällt uns besser. Dort gibt es mehr Schiffsmodelle und die Konzeption ist gelungener. Auf dem historischen Schiff im Außenbereich war leider keine Erläuterung über den Audioguide. Die Station war wohl defekt.
