Museum Nemo is a major science museum in Amsterdam. Opened in 1997. Near it there is the Maritime Museum and the Central Station, which, by the way, is very convenient. We will tell you about the exposition, what to see on each floor, how to get there, how much a ticket costs and what hours you can get to the NEMO Museum.
Description
The Nemo Museum looks very much like a huge green ship, to which there are two small bridges with railings.
Entering the lobby, you can immediately see a cafe and a souvenir shop, which sells an incredible number of scale models of some of the museum's attractions, including a copy of a giant set of dominoes and DNA.
The museum has 5 floors, each of which has a specific theme.
Ground floor
As for the first floor, its main theme is DNA and chain reactions, as well as everything connected with them. There are many cleverly designed objects, including incredibly large dominoes, a large bell and a flying car. In addition, there is a 30-minute show on the ground floor, which shows a long chain reaction.
Second floor
The second floor houses a ball factory. They arrive on a conveyor belt - small plastic balls that the participants of this show need to sort - balls of the same size are deposited in one side, the same color in the other, and the same weight in the third. Later they go to where they are packed, after they are placed in small iron boxes.
Also on the second floor there is Café Nemo, a showroom that hosts many scientific events and shows films. In addition, here you can visit many exhibitions - the water cycle, electricity, metals, buildings and much more.
Third floor
There is a huge science laboratory on the third floor. There, visitors are given the opportunity to conduct scientific experiments, including testing vitamin C in a certain amount of substances, as well as viewing DNA.
Third floor
If we talk about the fourth floor, then here you can attend a lecture dedicated to the human brain. They can also check your memory, evaluate the work of the brain and your feelings. The fourth floor has rather poor lighting, which makes it even more mysterious and interesting.
Well, the last, fifth floor, on the territory of which there is also another cafe, a playground for children with a playroom, and a playground where you can see many of the city's outskirts at a glance.
Discoveries
Everyone knows that in order for some objects to work, they need energy sources. These sources can be both electricity and oil and oil products. But what should you do in order not to pollute the environment? This, of course, will help another source of energy - water, which is one of the cleanest substances on our planet.
In the Nemo Museum, everyone can try a lot of experiments with water, build a dam, or even a turbine! Anyone who has a lot of questions here can get a huge number of fascinating and truthful answers to them. Younger children, from 4 to 8 years old, can visit a special section in which they will be offered many different costumes and the opportunity to change in them, and, of course, see themselves on TV, start building a house or participate in experiments with light or sound!
Exposition
The expositions of the Nemo Museum are dedicated to science, technology, technologies and arts, manifestations of human creativity. Here, like nowhere else, you can see a lot of interactive exhibitions, visual demonstrations and performances, and this happens not somewhere in one place, but on several floors of the building.
It is worth getting ready for an exciting journey through the worlds of science, technology, biomedicine, and information technology. The interactive attraction "Phenomena" will give you the opportunity to learn a lot of interesting things about light, sound, static energy, the theory of relativity, and everything will be held in an entertaining and exciting way.
