NEMO Science Museum

A building with an appearance that you do not quite expect on the banks of the IJ. The green sloping building is modern. It contrasts a bit with the neighbouring Maritime Museum but on the other side it fits the location. In this beautiful and special building the NEMO Science Museum is located. The place for anyone who loves science and experiments. Their is plenty to do yourselves and very suitable for children.

What is there to see

In the museum you will learn everything in the field of physics and chemistry. In a fun and interesting way, they manage to attract your attention and amaze you throughout your visit. The museum is divided into several exhibitions where you can interactively participate in test and experiments. Crawl into a bubble, clean drinking water from a bucket of dirty water, learn how a rainbow is created and much more.

Once in a while the exhibitions change, making it worthwhile to visit the NEMO Science Museum at a later date once again.

Hospitality

There are 3 cafés in the museum. Here you can have a drink with a nice snack to relax from the busy activities. It is also allowed to bring your own food and drinks to the museum, you can use it at one of the designated locations. A tip is to visit the roof terrace, you have a beatiful view of the city from up there.
