's Lands Zeemagazijn, Maritime museum building in Oosterdok, Netherlands.

The brick structure stands on wooden piles from Oslo, featuring three floors, a cellar, and an attic surrounded by water for boat accessibility.

Built between 1655 and 1656 by architect Daniel Stalpaert, the building initially served as an arsenal for the Admiralty of Amsterdam after the First Anglo-Dutch War.

The exterior displays statues of water deities carrying goods, designed by sculptor Artus Quellinus and his students, representing maritime power and commerce.

The museum contains multiple galleries showcasing permanent collections and temporary exhibitions related to Dutch naval history, with renovated facilities including elevators and modern amenities.

A glass roof designed by Laurent Ney in 2011 weighs 200,000 kilograms and incorporates elements from maritime navigation charts into its structure.
