ONE OF THE TOP MARINE MUSEUMS IN WORLD
I have visited this world class museum 9 times whilst on holiday in the city over the last 9 years. I have always had a warm welcome from staff. The layout of the museum is excellent and covers the history of the Royal Netherlands Navy, which closely follows the Royal Navy. They have an excellent souvenir shop all at very competitive prices and gift all ages, also a good selection of warship pictures. A tour of Tonijn and Abraham Crissons and the history of Willemsoord. Sundays in the summer season there are re-enactments of Dutch Royal Naval history. A few bits are inaccessible to disabled. It is noticeable that when school groups are visiting how well behaved and interested the children are, not as here running around and uninterested causing disruption. A gem for all interested in maritime history.

A confusing place
My husband loves all things maritime but this was a confusing place. We entered into what we thought was the main exhibition area. They seemed to have a lot of the same thing in each area. Information in English was limited. Only after exiting the building did we discover there were other parts to the museum. We were on the way out when we spotted the submarine. I chose not to visit but my husband really enjoyed his trip through the interior although two people fell during it. By this time it was late and we did not have time to visit the other ships and outdoor displays that are part of the museum.
