Day 4 – Russian Czars, Finding NEMO & the EYE

We planned a visit to the Hermitage Museum which is partnered with the Russian Hermitage in St. Petersburg. It has an exhibition of the Romanov Family as well as a section on the Dutch Golden age of trade in Amsterdam.

We walked from there to the NEMO Science Museum. The weather had turned cold and windy with light showers.
I had to get a shot of the same tour boat we had taken the day before.
We wanted to visit the NEMO Science Museum that we had sailed past yesterday. It is a five story structure designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano in 1997 which houses hands-on science exhibits for kids of all ages.
Lunch at the roof-top restaurant at the NEMO included fries with a tube of ketchup! It felt kind of like putting toothpaste on your fries.

Didn’t I mention that it was a blustery day?
