On October 1, 2011, Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands attended the re-opening of the Scheepvaartmuseum (Netherlands Maritime Museum) in Amsterdam. Arriving on the royal yacht, De Groene, Queen Beatrix was warmly greeted by the mayor of Amsterdam, Eberhard van deer Laan, museum employees, and other guests.
The Scheepvaartmuseum had undergone major renovation for the past four years; now the museum is in tip-top shape and ready for visitors to view their artifacts, paintings, and so on.
