    Gorgeous !

    Beautiful building restored with taste and sobriety, alone the glass roof of the courtyard is worth the detour. The boat model collection is superb, and the Navigation Room features a remarkably staged sextant collection. The life-size replica of the boat adds a lot to the visit, the session of virtual reality although too short is very well done, fun, and provides insight into the activity of the port in the 17th century.

    Fantastic Museum - one not to be missed.

    There is simply so much to do and see here that you'll need to allow yourself a full day really. There were also interesting interactive things on the 'docked' sailing ship for the children to do down in the hold. Over all a highlight for visitors to Amsterdam and an asset to the city!

    On par with Rijsmuseum and Van Gogh Museum

    This Museum is a must see when visiting Amsterdam. It is easy to navigate around and the breadth and depth of the collection is amazing. The layout of the exhibits and their interactive nature is outstanding. The food in the cafe was delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful.
