What is “NEMO Science Museum” in Amsterdam?
Kom naar de Klokhuis Vragendag in NEMO
A2 Dutch listening practice · Dutch · Picked for people who know a little
NEMO Science Museum is the Netherlands' largest hands-on science museum, sitting on a green-copper-roofed building beside Amsterdam’s Oosterdok. The 1997 building was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, the same designer behind the Centre Pompidou and London’s Shard. The museum’s rooftop is one of Amsterdam’s most-visited free vantage points. Inside, kids run kinetic experiments, build robots, freeze water, and watch chemistry demos. Het Klokhuis runs an annual Vragendag there: kids submit science questions in advance, and the Klokhuis crew matches them with practising Dutch scientists for one-on-one answers.
In this clip, Het Klokhuis announces the day: “Kom dan naar de Klokhuis Vragendag hierzo bij NEMO in Amsterdam. Stel je vraag en wie weet krijg jij een persoonlijke afspraak met een echte wetenschapper.”
