Step into the Houseboat Museum of Amsterdam and discover a fascinating slice of Dutch maritime history. Built in 1914, this vessel originally served as a freight ship, and through an interactive self-guided audio tour, visitors are transported back in time to experience how a working family lived aboard the ship during its early years. The museum allows you to explore the ship’s original layout, giving a glimpse into life on the water in the early 20th century.

In 1967, the ship was transformed into a residential houseboat, reflecting the growing popularity of houseboats in Amsterdam. The museum preserves this unique transformation, showing how people adapted maritime vessels into funky, comfortable living spaces. From clever storage solutions to cozy interiors, the houseboat offers insight into the inventive ways residents made use of the limited space.

Beyond the houseboat itself, the museum also provides context about the broader history of houseboat living in Amsterdam. Learn about the evolution of this lifestyle, its cultural significance, and how it has become an iconic part of the city’s identity. Visitors leave with a deeper appreciation for the ingenuity and charm of Amsterdam’s floating homes.
