22 May 2011 - The Maritime Museum in Amsterdam is undergoing a major renovation (in fact most Amsterdam seem to undergo a major renovation... ). The Museum is to reopen before the end of the year. Initially the Museum catered for about 40,000 visitors per year, but the good collection and the 350 years-old historical building attracted annually more than 200,000 visitors in recent years. The layout and interior have to be changed to cope with the increase of visitors. A climate control system will also be installed. The Museam reckons that visitor numbers will further double in the coming years. After the renovation the visitors will enter through the courtyard, which is now almost completed. Visitors will be invited to explore the Museum through different routes and different exhibitions, so it will not get too crowded. Go & see! It looks beautiful.
