This ultra-modern arty museum is well worth a visit, just a short walk from the centre, near the station - nicely laid-out on several floors, helpful staff and interesting varied art and artefacts - an enjoyable couple of hours, and great apple cake in the museum's cafe !!

The northern Maritime Museum is situated in two beautiful medieval buildings in Groningen. The museum shows the history of the ship transport in the north of the Netherlands and the history of Groningen. Additionally, you can visit changing art and history exhibitions throughout the year in our museum.

A splendid museum housed in two heritage houses in the centre of town we are introduced to maritime life and the manner in which it was lived in the 18th century. There are pictures and paintings, portraits of well known notables, shipping paraphernalia and objects and the piece de resistance being the numerous scale models of schooners and rigged vessels in all shapes and sizes. Spread over four wooden floors it is a feast for both the mariner in you and us alike.
