Noordelijk Scheepvaartmuseum, Maritime and history museum in Brugstraat, Netherlands.
The Noordelijk Scheepvaartmuseum occupies two medieval buildings and presents the maritime history of the northern Netherlands. The exhibitions feature ship models, historical maps, paintings, and navigation tools.
The museum was founded in 1932 to preserve maritime history from the northern Netherlands. It documents developments from the Middle Ages to the present day.
The collections show how maritime trade shaped Groningen and what the sea meant to the region's people. The displayed vessels and trade objects tell stories of those who made their living on the water.
The location is easily accessible on foot and the rooms are compact, making for a pleasant visit. The permanent exhibition is clearly organized and can be seen in about one to two hours.
