The building itself, a daring design by Renzo Piano, rises above the water like a ship, housing not only intellectual stimuli but also a panoramic view of Amsterdam that stops you in your tracks for a moment. Here, the walls are filled with stories and experiments that challenge you to look differently at the world around you.<\/h2>\n<p>.<br \/>\nWith five floors of interactive exhibits, NEMO is a living laboratory. Children, parents and curious seniors are challenged to fathom physical phenomena, tame technology and explore sustainability through tangible experiences. The exhibits are sometimes playful, sometimes serious, but always inviting to participate. This museum attracts nearly three-quarters of a million visitors annually and is known as a stopping place for those who want to unite science and the city.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74207\" title=\"nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1.jpg\" alt=\"nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1\" width=\"1700\" height=\"1100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1.jpg 1700w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1-600x388.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1-1536x994.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1-400x259.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/nemo-science-museum-amsterdam1-500x324.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1700px) 100vw, 1700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Its location in the neighborhood around the Oosterdok makes itself felt. Where once stood refrigeration and transshipment companies, now there is the hiss of experiments and happy voices. As such, the museum is a beacon of learning in a district of the city bustling with change and creativity. The rooftop terrace, which serves as a city park in the summer, completes the scene with its greenery and resting point for visitors.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\"Science that starts with wonder and ends in fun - you can feel that in every corner here.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Workshops, demonstrations and the laboratory offer space to always discover something new. As such, NEMO is not a place you simply visit, but one you want to return to in time to explore the world with fresh eyes each time. Here curiosity merges with the energy of Amsterdam that invites learning without obligation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its scale, the museum keeps the atmosphere accessible and personal. This is a place where learning is not a duty, but an adventure. NEMO is thus vivid proof that science lives in the middle of the city, and is accessible to everyone, an outstretched hand for anyone who asks questions and wants a taste of the invisible around us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n    <div class='LeesOokSection'>\n    <p class='introleesook'>READ ALSO<\/p>\n    <hr class='locline2'> \n    <a href='https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/nieuws\/abonneer-je-op-amsterdam-magazine\/'>\n    <div class='LeesOokBox'>\n     <div class='locatiebox'>\n     <div class='leftLeesOok'>\n          <img class='imgbox' src='https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Papeneiland.jpg' alt='Akrt' \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class='RechtsLeesOok leesook'>\n     <p style='margin-top: -2px; color:red; letter-spacing: 0.5px; font-weight: 400 !important; font-size: 13px;' class='categorietitel-sug'><\/p>\n     <h3 style='text-align:left; font-size: 1.3em'  class='relatedh3'>Subscribe to Amsterdam Magazine and receive 4 editions!<\/h3>\n     <span class='WijkTekst LeesOokTekst'>English-language Amsterdam Magazine is all about fun things to do, discovering new places and the city's tastemakers.
