If you're planning a vacation or already settled down with a job here, here are 5 Dutch museums you shouldn't miss.

Nemo is among the most original museums in the Netherlands and is among the few where visitors can interact with the exhibits and carry out experiments themselves.

The Nemo Museum is a science center located inside a ship-shaped building, impossible to ignore.
