NeMo
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
You will notice NeMo from afar. From one side the building looks like a giant bow of a ship, covered in green seaweed, reached (from the city centre side) by a special pedestrian bridge. From another it is a slanted deck (actually it's a terrace with a lovely view of Amsterdam) you disembark from walking down the stairs compared by a guidebook to the legendary Odessa Steps immortalised in Eisenstein's masterpiece Battleship Potemkin: remember the pram... NeMo houses the Amsterdam National Centre for Science and Technology, and the building was designed in 1997 by the renowned architect Renzo Piano. The easiest way of getting there from the city centre is on a bike - or on foot from the Central Railway Station (an approximately 10-minute walk), passing a bizarre floating object that is a botel (a floating hotel on a boat) and a kitschy Chinese restaurant that looks as if it had materialised there by mistake.
