Museum NEMO - the largest science museum in the Netherlands. His main task of the museum sees to any visitor - young and old - can learn to discover something new, unusual and useful in the field of science and technology to the museum after visiting the people look at the world through different eyes.

The history of the museum begins in the 20s and 30s of XX century, when in Amsterdam, there was a small museum of labor. In 1997, the museum moved to a purpose-built building designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano, the founder of high-tech style. Then the museum was renamed the new Metropol, and the name of the NEMO Science Centre appeared in 2000. The building is shaped like a ship, it is surprising harmony with the historic city center, and recalls that the history of Amsterdam and the Netherlands is closely linked to ships and seafaring, because for centuries the Dutch were the best sailors.

NEMO does not look like a museum in the conventional sense, most of the exhibits intended to be touched, spit and investigated. The museum expositions tell about DNA and the chain reaction of the radiation and the origin of life on Earth, about how the human brain and is arranged on the water cycle in nature. Almost all of the exhibits are interactive. It is highly recommended to come with their children, but adults will not resist the temptation to blow a giant bubble or try your hand at logistics. And children like real scientists in white coats and goggles make glue from potatoes or with soap alter the color of red cabbage.

From the roof of the museum offers a beautiful view of the old city - it is the highest point in this part of Amsterdam.
