Wereldmuseum Rotterdam

The Wereldmuseum Rotterdam is a meeting place where the world and the city of Rotterdam come together. Housed in a beautiful, historic 19th-century building in the stately Scheepvaartkwartier district, right on the Maas River, the museum features an impressive collection of both historical and contemporary works. The museum illustrates how cultures around the world are interconnected and how the superdiverse port city of Rotterdam has been shaped by influences from all corners of the globe. By juxtaposing historical objects with modern art, photography, and personal stories from Rotterdam residents, the museum invites visitors to reflect on universal human themes and the world today.
