Walk: From Admiralty to Royal Navy

During the tour of "the Marineterrein," all kinds of facts and trivia about the area are discussed at various stops. Visually. Because apart from the striking building that now houses Het Scheepvaartmuseum and used to function as 's Lands Magazijn, there is much more to see in the area that will surprise you.

Terrain in transition
Although the Royal Navy is still connected to Amsterdam through the Marine Etablissement Amsterdam (MEA), during the tour you will discover that the terrain is still in transition. Since the so-called "front yard" was transferred to the Project Bureau Marineterrein Amsterdam in 2015, nearly three-quarters of the buildings and surrounding plots have been given a different function. Bartelsman is going to tell you more about that.
