  • Holding the largest collection of boats in the world, and crammed with fascinating objects, the Nederlands Scheepvaart became a museum in 1973, when the Dutch Navy vacated the building. Solid and four-square, Daniel Stalpaert’s imposing classical-style arsenal was built for the Admiralty in 1656 during the Golden Age of Dutch maritime history. Among the museum’s treasures are weapons, paintings and meticulously accurate models (see Nederlands Scheepvaart Museum). The museum will be closed for renovation from late 2007 until 2009.
