Learn about the maritime history at this museum in Rotterdam.
In the Maritime Museum you can travel through the maritime past and present in nautical exhibitions that are interesting for all ages.
Listen to stories from sailors, brave explorers, maritime technicians or determined captains and immerse yourself in the story of the Rotterdam port in the exhibition 'The Port'.
Find out how they search new energy at sea in the 'Offshore Experience' and visit the children's hands-on exhibition called Professor Plons. The museum is located in the oldest and largest museum harbor in the Netherlands, where you can experience on historic ships and cranes how the world port of Rotterdam started on this very spot.
Yep, that's a huge red lighthouse right out front! The best part? All of these parts of the Maritime Museum are authentic too.
