Culturally yours, Rotterdam!
Rotterdam has a wide variety of museums and permanent exhibitions. Rotterdam has always been culturally influenced by the rich Dutch maritime history. The Maritime Museum is of course an obvious place to learn more about Rotterdam's history, but also at national level, Rotterdam has a few big names in store. Large, famous museums such as Boijmans - Van Beuningen, ‘Kunsthal’ and the Natural History Museum alone are worth a visit to Rotterdam. However, you will surely be surprised by smaller specialized museums in Rotterdam such as the Netherlands Architecture Institute and the World Arts Museum as well. When you would like to know everything about Rotterdam´s history you have to visit the Museum Rotterdam.
