Toured the Amsterdam Maritime Museum today; a museum I'd missed on previous visits. An engaging, lively collection, including an evocative array of navigation instruments, and an assortment of Dutch maritime paintings, with a mystic moonlight boat scene (& a sailing ship docked outside).

As an ex seaman I would like to see the museum. Was it possible to look round the ship?
ReplyDeleteYou'd enjoy the museum,Ray. I looked around the ship's hold a bit,tight quarters for certain. You have to pay extra to tour the upper portions of the ship.
DeleteI'm also getting notified of comments again,fortunately.
DeleteMy favorite Amsterdam museum is The Hermitage, although I haven't seen the present exhibition yet.
ReplyDeleteAs it happened, I visited The Amsterdam Hermitage museum for the first time, the day after I went to the Maritime Museum. I really like The Hermitage as well; there was a show based on ideas of classical beauty. The Golden Age Dutch painting, and related material was top notch; and the Outsider section was gripping. I went to the Allard Pierson Museum on this visit, as well.
