Nationaal Scheepvaartmuseum, Maritime museum in Het Steen, Belgium
The National Maritime Museum exhibits a vast collection of maritime artifacts, including navigation instruments, ship models, and historical documents about naval exploration.
Founded in 1926 as the Museum of Commerce and Navigation, the institution relocated to Het Steen in 1949 before its collection moved to MAS in 2011.
The museum preserves Belgium's maritime heritage through exhibitions about naval trade, shipbuilding techniques, and the nation's connection to water transportation.
The museum's collection, now integrated into MAS, contains 65,000 pieces that document the evolution of maritime activities through centuries of naval history.
The Friends of the National Maritime Museum association, established in 1939, contributed to expanding the collection through acquisitions and preservation efforts.
