ship's hall

The footbridge, positioned high above the ship’s hall floor, offers a magnificent view of the largest collection of ships of all European museums. You can also make your way down and enjoy a wander around among the boats. These old, wooden ships are the Museum collection’s showpieces. You will see an ‘ijsvlet’ (ice boat), a transport ship and a Frisian hunting boat, to name but a few.
