The maritime world is an unknown, almost hidden world. A world in which the fascinating relationship between people and water takes center stage. Water as a limitless source of inspiration, entrepreneurial drive, wealth and destruction. The sea challenges us and brings out the best – and the worst – in us. The Maritime Museum wants to make this hidden world visible.

That’s why we are storytellers. We bring other times back to life with our internationally renowned historical collection. With working ships and cranes we give visitors a taste of life on board. And with contemporary exhibitions we make the surprising influence of the maritime world on our daily lives tangible. Of course in the Leuvehaven in the heart of Rotterdam, where it all started. Are you expanding your horizons?
