Thalia, Entertainment venue on Kruiskade, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The Thalia building features an amphitheater layout with space for 800 guests and facades decorated with glazed brickwork and concrete reliefs.
The current Thalia structure, opened in 1955, replaced previous cinema buildings from 1911 and 1916 that were destroyed during Rotterdam's urban development and World War II.
The building's concrete relief, created by sculptor Carel Kneulman, represents Thalia, the Greek muse of comedy, connecting the structure to classical arts.
The venue sits at the intersection of Kruiskade and Lijnbaan, within a five-minute walk from Rotterdam Central Station and near Stadhuis metro station.
The building's distinctive fan shape resulted from street layout constraints and incorporates 360-degree projection technology for immersive entertainment experiences.
