NEMO Science Museum

About

NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ largest science centre, housed in Renzo Piano’s striking glass‑roofed building on Oosterdok 2. The museum invites visitors of all ages to explore five floors of interactive experiments that bring physics, biology, chemistry and technology to life—from a giant domino chain reaction to the human brain. The rooftop terrace, known as the Dakplein, offers a free, green oasis with panoramic views of the city and a café, while the Technium exhibition showcases everyday technology. NEMO is open year‑round and works closely with schools, offering workshops and educational programmes. Whether you’re a curious child, a history lover or a science enthusiast, the museum’s playful approach turns learning into an adventure.
