Amsterdam from NEMO to Rembrandt House Museum

Why go

This full museum day suits visitors who enjoy understanding how things work, from scientific experiments to navigation and painting. Begin at NEMO Science Museum at opening and choose the experiments that interest you most. Continue to the National Maritime Museum for maps, objects and the naval storehouse setting, then finish at Rembrandt House Museum’s domestic rooms and studio. Keep lunch compact and resist adding another attraction; the three visits already need sustained attention and an early start.
