Yellow sloping houses? Do people actually live here? Oh yes they do! The Cube houses in Rotterdam are still a striking and colorful tourist attraction. The cube shapes were designed by Provo architect Piet Blom. The so-called "Blaakse Bos" consists of 38 cubes with different rooms and every cube has three floors: the "street house" with kitchen and living room, the "heaven house" with bedrooms and the "tabernacle". And it gets even better! You can look inside the unique cube houses as well.

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is one of the best and oldest museums in the Netherlands with an astonishing collection of Dutch and European masterpieces. Below you can find a selection of the finest works and artists.

The Kunsthal is one of the cultural treasures of Rotterdam. Not only because of the architecture of the building, but also the ever-changing exhibitions are inspiring. The building was designed by the renowned architect Rem Koolhaas and knows how to surprise visitors with unexpected design elements.

The Kunsthal is an icon of contemporary architecture. The building is distinguished by unexpected materials and innovative design choices. The inspiring design is the perfect place to showcase the creative achievements of Dutch and international artists.

The Kunsthal is located at the Museum Park, a small green city park that connects the main museums of Rotterdam. In the park, you can escape the busy city and enjoy a peaceful walk to the Kunsthal, the Natural History Museum Rotterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, the Chabot Museum and the New Institute (formerly the Netherlands Architecture Institute). The Wereldmuseum is a short distance from the Museum Park, where you can immerse yourself in the commercial history of Rotterdam.
