When i talked to the staff about getting (at least) a free ticket for the next day (especially because they took half our food??) they just said 'you should have been quicker". Clearly the staff never had children and now about how slow things go when they are hungry, get their food stolen and dont see the main attraction.
De verzameling is... eclectisch, niet bepaald samenhangend, niet veel artefacten.
Het voelt niet aan als een museum over scheepsvaart.
Jammer.
The exposition lacks all the drama and items that the old museum used to offer. No periscopes to watch through (loved that as a kid) and hardly any models of ancient and WW2 warships.
The only mention of Piet Heijn and the Silverfleet is in the form of a "remembrance coin". Really pathetic.
Also, the slavery past of the Dutch is basically glossed over/deleted from the texts next to the paintings. It just says "This or that admiral....and an UNKNOWN man" where it is obviously meant to portray slavery.
The whole building feels "half empty" (or "half full", but that would still sound terrible for a museum).
The 2 stars is for the fact it actually has a replica East-Indiaman that you can walk around in.

Wir sind am Nachmittag eingetroffen und beim kauf der Tickets hat uns niemand über die verbleibende zeit von 1h hingewiesen, zur folg mussten wir das Museum frühzeitig wieder verlassen. Auf die Öffnungszeiten gut achten und genug Zeit einplanen.
Mooie binnenplaats... en de kinderen vonden het erg leuk
