Will you be traveling to Amsterdam, Netherlands anytime soon? If so,
it is likely that you plan on at least doing a few tourist activities
while you are there. I know that often times vacations can get hectic
and sometimes slightly boring after you've spent long days after days
carting around your touring group to one attraction after another. But
as is usually the case in most cities or towns anywhere, some of these
attractions should not be missed. And in Amsterdam, those are the
museums. From the museum on Cannabis culture to the Rembrandt museum,
Amsterdam is known throughout the world for its extraordinary art and
informational exhibitions of all sorts. From conservative, traditional
to all out bizarre, Amsterdam has the best of them.
But where do you find out about museums in Amsterdam, Netherlands? How do you know which Amsterdam museums are worth it? Well, many of the classic, tourist-trap type, if you will, Amsterdam museums will be listed on a city map or in any major tour book. You might even find out about some from your local AAA office, or other travel agent. But as for the rather odd ones, the ones that are a bit harder to find and even more fun to talk about back home; here is a brief list and description. The following are six Amsterdam Museums that cross over the line of ordinary. Hopefully you will enjoy them.
The giant four story NEMO science center is one Amsterdam museum attraction that many tourists might easily miss. Despite its huge presence right on the water near the city's Centraal Station, this Mecca of experiments and knowledge is sort of tucked away and requires a little walk off into the distance of seemingly nowhere to get to. It is not hard to miss though, for the science museum is marked by its architecture; the building design consists externally of a massive ship from an aerial view that appears as though it has landed halfway in the water. Once inside the structure, nobody would ever notice this look, and sadly it is raised so much above ground that depending on which way one enters the museum, it could be easy to miss completely. But the NEMO center, the largest science museum in the Netherlands has plenty of character inside as well. Families with children, couples, even grandparents of any age can enjoy this world of fun, hands on learning tools. From the life-size bubble maker to the music machine media-type area to an exhibit that allows you to climb on the ceiling, NEMO has something for every type and level of learner. The top floor also allows one to view the entire capital city of the Netherlands, Amsterdam.
