Parking near Wereldmuseum Rotterdam

It began as an elite cabinet of curiosities, full of Asian batiks, African masks and botania from around the world, collected by Dr Elie van Rijckevorsel, including over 900 objects. In the 20th century, it grew into an anthropology research centre, with expeditions to New Guinea and Latin America. In the 2000s, the building underwent a metamorphosis: the interior regained its historic appearance with the reopening of the ballroom, combined with a modern museum presentation.

Today, the World Museum is a vibrant, public-oriented meeting place. With more than 83,000 objects from 127 cultures, and partnerships with the National Museum of World Cultures since 2017, the museum focuses on themes such as migration, globalisation, craftsmanship and world citizenship. Based on the belief that ‘the world has no centre, but a network’, it invites you to recognise your role in that story.

In Superstraat, you will discover culture through tangible objects specially designed for all ages. In addition, exhibitions alternate: from Crossroads Rotterdam to Colonialism and Rotterdam, with perspectives on honest reflection and inclusion.

Besides exhibitions, you can come here for lectures, workshops, children's activities, and guided tours during Heritage Days. Moreover, the ballroom, salon and Elie van Rijckevorsel room are popular venues for cultural and business events - with space for 10 to 450 people, including worldly catering inspired by the city itself.

This is where Rotterdam's culture, history and urban diversity come together. It is a place that challenges you to think, amazes you with beautiful objects, and connects people, places and stories - in Erasmus' famous motto of ‘being a world citizen’.
