Houseboat Museum (Woonboot Museum)

The Houseboat Museum, or Woonboot Museum, is a traditionally furnished houseboat moored in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the daily life on the city’s canals before modernization. Originally a freighter named Hendrika Maria, the boat has been fully converted and now features authentic furnishings, displays, and models that illustrate the evolution of canal living over the decades. Visitors can explore the compact living spaces, examine historical artifacts, and gain a deeper understanding of the unique lifestyle of those who call the waterways home.
