Kunsthal

The Kunsthal Rotterdam is an exhibition space and art museum in Rotterdam Centrum with about 3,300 square meters (35,500 square feet) of floor area spread across multiple halls for temporary art displays and cultural presentations. The rooms are designed with flexibility to accommodate changing exhibitions of many different types.

The modernist building was designed in 1992 by architect Rem Koolhaas and incorporates tilted walls, transparent facades, and ramps. These design elements create dynamic exhibition environments that embody the concept of flowing space.

The museum presents rotating exhibitions of international contemporary art, photography, fashion, design, and cultural topics without maintaining a permanent collection. Visitors encounter diverse artistic movements and themes that change regularly throughout the year.

The museum is located near Museum Park and is easily reached by public transportation or on foot. It is recommended to allow plenty of time to explore the various exhibitions at your own pace.

The building integrates sloping floors connected by ramps that allow visitors to experience a continuous path through exhibitions. At the same time, large glass walls offer views of the city, making the visit a blend of art viewing and urban perspective.
