The "NEMO" is a sloping greenish structure on the eastern Amsterdam harbour that is reminiscent of the bow of a large ship, moored on top of a busy car tunnel, which no one will notice once inside. The most exciting element of the design is its brilliant viewing deck on its sloping rooftop, which serves as an unofficial city plaza. The name of the building is a reference to Jules Verne.

The greenish copper is the dominant cladding of the building exterior, but the ground floor is primarily glass and brick. If you walk all around the monumental complex you will appreciate its wonderful waterside setting before you enter. 

This is a popular and festive science and technology museum that is designed for maximum interactive fun and learning for the kids. Most of the displays deal with scientific topics like energy, medicine and communication, but there is even an educational display on money. Skylights and staircases visually link the interior levels.
