If you like ships and boats this museum is a must. So much of Holland’s history and glory happened thanks to overseas commerce. See the ships that carried the spices and riches of the orient to Europe for five hundred years. This museum contains the largest collection of boats in the world! The musuem’s layout is arragned chronologically and the boats, models, ancient maps and navagational aids are wonderful.
