Design-related things in Rotterdam?

Hello everyone,

I am a student currently visiting the Netherlands for a few days and was wondering if anyone knew any good design-related places to go see in Rotterdam? I’m planning to visit the Erasmus Bridge and Market Hall so far and if anyone has suggestions, I’d greatly appreciate them!

The market hall is a nice visit, especially at night.

A selection:

  • Boymans van Beuningen museum - the best design museum of the Netherlands IMO
  • Kunsthal sometimes has excellent exhibitions - http://www.kunsthal.nl

If you are into interactivity, see if the V2 lab is doing something for the public.

Thank you, I’ll be sure to check them out!

Maybe you want to check out the Van Nelle Factory, many design related studios are located there: http://www.vannellefabriek.com/en-us/Van-Nelle-Factory

Rem Koolhaas’ company OMA is based in Rotterdam as well.
You can try to arrange a group visit.
