Description Nederlands Scheepvaart Museum.jpg |
The Nederlands Scheepvaartmuseum (Netherlands Maritime Museum) is a museum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The museum is housed in a former naval storehouse, 's Lands Zeemagazijn or Admiraliteits Magazijn, constructed in 1656. The museum moved to this building in 1973. The museum is dedicated to maritime history and contains many artifacts associated with shipping and sailing. The collection contains, among other things, paintings, scale models, weapons and world maps. The paintings depict Dutch naval officers such as Michiel de Ruyter and impressive historical sea battles. The map collection includes works by famed 17th century cartographers Willem Blaeu and his son Joan Blaeu. The museum also has a surviving copy of the first edition of Maximilian Transylvanus' work, De Moluccis Insulis, the first to describe Ferdinand Magellan's voyage around the world. Moored outside the museum is a replica of the Amsterdam, an 18th century ship which sailed between the Netherlands and the East Indies. The replica was built in the years 1985-1990. In January 2007, the museum will close for about two years to undergo a major renovation. From wikipedia article . |
