Maritime Museum

Rotterdam is the second largest city in the Netherlands and one of the largest port cities in the world. Rotterdam has a rich water network and a developed shipping industry, and you can see the scenery related to the city everywhere. Even the hotel bar has many ships moored by the river.

Rotterdam, Netherlands, is a port, and there is a maritime museum in the port city. There are many maritime-related items and introductions in the museum. More distinctive things, there are many large-scale equipment on display outside the museum, which is very interesting to say!

The development and navigation of the Dutch oceans are very early history, this maritime museum is a special introduction to the development of the Dutch oceans, this building has a history of more than 100 years, which contains a lot of early navigation maps and some important navigational history. Interesting visit.

This is a very important museum in Rotterdam, the museum is very rich in exhibits, mainly exhibitions of the Dutch maritime history. Rotterdam, as a famous port city, has a history of navigation for thousands of years, and the artifacts here show the characteristics and changes of navigation in various periods, which is a very window to understand ancient Europe.

Because I had to catch a plane to Stockholm in the afternoon, the visit to the Maritime Museum was a bit rushed. I visited the cabin of a ship docked at the museum. After feeling the life of the seafarers when the Netherlands was dominating the sea, I hurriedly looked at some objects in the museum. The best thing to play is an interaction: enter a room, the door is closed, the image appears on all sides of the room, we only know that we are in a container, see how the container is shipped to the sea, how to transport from sea to land, how to transport it to the supermarket by truck, The experience was immersive and very interesting by the supermarket clerk on the shelf.

Follow the open-air harbour museum shore until the end, the Maritime Museum of Rotterdam. I like this museum very much. Not only does it introduce the history of maritime trade in Rotterdam as a port city, but the last part introduces the daily lives of some people living on the ship. You can get a map that hints at which boats are currently docked in the port of Rotterdam. But because it is a private house, the entrance to the visit must be allowed by the owner, not worth a special trip to see.

There is a large collection of naval history and navigation related, it is worth a visit. It was originally changed by the Royal Speedboat Club and you can see the old ship model, map and some instruments. If you are interested in this, you can check it out.
