The 8 Best History Museums in Rotterdam, South Holland Province

July 13, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

Holland's most modern city began as a fishing village in the 13th century. It was developing into an industrial and trading power when German bombers destroyed the city center and harbor in 1940. However, Rotterdam's unique architecture now brings many visitors to bike around this urbane, cosmopolitan city. Old Dutch-style houses can still be found in historic Delfshaven, from where the pilgrims set sail in 1620. Cultural offerings from summer's carnival to classical music give Amsterdam competition.

The collection is impressive, the location is very sweet and I'm suprised it doesn't get more attention. The staff was amazingly friendly and we had a very nice time! Amazing little spot in Rotterdam.

This is a fascinating museum. The staff are welcoming, the exhibits interesting and the information clearly displayed and translated into English too. The special exhibition on girl power is great to see too. Time well spent.
