Scheepvaartmuseum (Maritime Museum)

VOC-era warehouse with replica ships and maritime art

Address Kattenburgerplein 1
Opening Hours Tues–Sun 10:00–17:00, also Monday June–September

Housed in the former VOC warehouse east of Central Station, the Maritime Museum makes the case that Amsterdam's wealth came entirely from the sea. Full-size replica ships sit in the dock outside, including a faithful reconstruction of the VOC flagship Amsterdam. The collection of maps, paintings and navigational instruments is excellent.
