NEMO Science Museum (from latin Nobody) is a science centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Designed by Renzo Piano in the 90’s, it is located in the heart of Amsterdam near the railway station, the Maritime Museum and the Zoo. The museum is built above the entrance of an underwater road tunnel, a major civil engineering structure of the 1960s, projecting into the harbour. As the underground tunnel sinks into the harbour from the city, a pedestrian ramp rises above the water thus creating a panoramic view of the city centre, the museum itself occupies the wedge of space between the two. The museum has its origins in 1923, and is housed in a building designed by Renzo Piano in 1997. It contains five floors of hands-on science exhibitions and is the largest science center in the Netherlands attracting around 670, 000 visitors annually, which makes it the eighth most visited museum in the Netherlands. Inside the museum the atmosphere is not monumental but rather frugal and simple to emphasise the exhibits, rather than the building. Orientation in the museum is made clear by natural light penetrating the open central space. Following the example of American and European initiatives, there are both temporary and permanent exhibitions on communication, energy, humanity, phenomena and technology, all of which rely on interactive display techniques. On the roof of the museum, further interactive works are installed, which take advantage of wind, sunlight and water. Oxidised green coloured copper cladding for the facade was chosen for its technical properties of low maintenance, long life, lightness and strength, but expresses symbolically-the application of science and technology.
