NEMO lets science run through hands and questions

Five floors in Renzo Piano’s green building offer experiments in physics, chemistry, biology and technology, with a public rooftop square.

Plan your visit ↗

Experiment first, explain afterwards

Carry out one set-up without predicting the outcome, then read the explanation. Repeat with one variable changed to keep cause and chance apart.

Technology is designed behaviour

Buttons, gears and digital interactions steer what you do. At one installation, look at how form, instructions and feedback together make learning possible.

Roof above the IJ tunnel

The rooftop square offers views over Amsterdam. Access and weather may differ from your booked museum time slot.

Before you go

Tuesday–Sunday 10.00–17.30; open on some holiday Mondays. A ticket with a start time is compulsory, even with a discount card.
