  • By rkigervaron
    Excellent. One of the best museums in Amsterdam. Very comprehensive, interesting and relevant not just for shipping enthusiasts  more »
  • By Haelen
    The building of the museum is an old colonial warehouse, and makes it already worthwhile to visit this museum. The exhibition is worth seeing.  more »
