 NeMo museum in Amsterdam by codrutz
Again I found in Amsterdam the name of the little clown fish - NEMO :) As well as the Disney's movie, the Nemo museum is designed for children aged 4-16 (as well as for their parents) fascinated by science and technology. I admit I didn't go inside but instead I have admired the original shape of the massive building from the cruise boat.
The NeMo (National Center for Science and Technology) boat-like green building was designed by Renzo Piano, not other than the one who designed the Centre Pompidou in Paris (hosting the Museum of Modern Art and a vast library).
The exterior is covered with copper and in time it took the green color. The roof of the building is sloped and uses as a roof terrace. There are stairways on the sides that leads people to the terrace, which provides a view of both Amsterdam and the water of the IJ. Leave a Comment

 VOC ship "AMSTERDAM" by breughel
The original Amsterdam sailed up the North Sea in 1749. In a raging storm the East Indiaman soon sank on the south coast of England. The wreck has provided archaeologists with valuable information about the construction of VOC ships, their cargoes and life on board.
This replica is very interesting for children as it shows the details of the life on board for the eight months trip to Asia.
Connoisseurs of maritime construction are not enthusiast about this replica.
In order to allow demonstrations of gun shooting the gun deck with 16 replicas had its height increased. The Dutch visitors from now are about 25 cm taller than the 18th. c. crew. But to keep the overall height of the ship correct the height of the upper deck with the captain's cabin has been decreased so that only children can enter the cabin! The NEMO museum seems consequently a good place to keep this replica.
Open : Tuesday - Sunday 10 - 17h. Also open on Monday from June to August.
Price: 4 yr and more 4 € - in combination with NEMO ticket : 2 €

The NEMO museum is build in the 1990's on top of the South entrance to the IJtunnel.
It's a museum ideal for kids, because most projects involve hands-on experiences.
From the roof you have a great view over the Amsterdam harbour.
Visiting hours:
Tu-Su: 10Am - 5PM (daily duting the kids school holidays)
Admission: Euro 11,50
In 2007 the ship "Amsterdam" has been moved next to NEMO due to the ongoing renovation of the Maritime Museum. Leave a Comment Phone: 0900-9191100Directions: 15 minutes walking East of the Central Train StationWebsite: http://www.e-NEMO.nl

 Oustanding architecture by Jenniflower
Our first glance of it is this almost surreal-like green object projecting out of the water... in total juxtaposition to the antiquated architecture elsewhere in Amsterdam.
It is quite stunning, with clean lines and curves.
This is the largest futuristic science center in the Netherlands, and the extraodrdinary building was designed by Renzo Piano.
Here you enter into the world of science and technology, and what is nice here is that you can reach out and touch things, which in most museums you cannot. (The Science Museum in London is the same - you can touch most things).
This makes the experience all the more interactive and enjoyable for youngsters and oldies (like us! haha) alike. Leave a Comment

 Nemo by Jarin
Do not omit to visit the upper deck (roof). It has a magnificent view over (historic) Amsterdam and in summer it is transformed into a beach.

Nemo museum is a futuristic science centre designed by Renzo Piano
Here the emphasis is on touching the exhibition & experimenting
Great for children
Entry is Euro 11
For Euro 2.50 you can climb in the back entrance up about 130 steps & get a great view of the harbour. The entry price includes a free drink in the bar - we managed to get in for free as the weather was not great so no-one was manning the entrance. These stairs have a water feature & deck chairs simulating a beach set up. There is a telescope & an ariel viewing map of things you can see from the top of the stairs what to look out for Leave a Comment

 NEMO building seen from a
canalboat by tompt
The building (1997) is from the Italian architect Renzo Piano and looks like a green ship, rising from the water. If you don't fancy this sort of museum it is also nice to go there for the view. From the Prins Hendrikkade you can reach the museum?s highest point via some stairs and a footbridge. The roof is open to everyone. Leave a Comment

The ship next to the Nemo building is a replica of the "Amsterdam" which is temporarily moored there until the renovation of the Maritime Museum is complete. Leave a Comment
