Lichtpunt Enhances Nautical Mood of Het Scheepvaartmuseum with CHAUVET Professional

Visitors cannot help but feel the freedom of the sea tug at their hearts when they encounter Het Scheepvaartmuseum Amsterdam, the National Maritime Museum of the Netherlands. This is not just because the iconic attraction sits on an artificial island built in 1656 as a naval base near Amsterdam’s city old harbor. Nor is it strictly due to the majestic three-masted “Amsterdam” that is moored outside. No, in some ways, the transformative effect of this world-class museum is felt most keenly when one enters its spacious courtyard and gazes up at its towering glass roof, which features a mesmerizing design inspired by the compass rose and rhumb line that have, for centuries, guided all mariners on their uncertain journeys.Read More »Lichtpunt Enhances Nautical Mood of Het Scheepvaartmuseum with CHAUVET Professional
