Nemo stands proudly in the Oosterdokseiland neighborhood. Its unique, boat-like building, designed by Renzo Piano, opened its doors in 1997. Nemo’s history traces back to 1923 as the Museum van den Arbeid (Museum of Labor). It transformed into the Nederlands Instituut voor Nijverheid en Techniek (Dutch Institute for Labor and Technology) in 1954. Finally, it became newMetropolis in 1997 before adopting the name Nemo in 2000. Today, Nemo Science Museum is the largest science center in the Netherlands. Inside, five floors of interactive exhibits beckon, inviting you to explore the wonders of science. Imagine exploring a giant DNA strand or triggering a chain reaction with enormous dominoes.
