Museum Rotterdam: eerste pop-up tentoonstelling

Starting over after 1940

After the bombing of 1940, large parts of Rotterdam lay in ruins. The exhibition Opnieuw beginnen shows how the city subsequently redeveloped. What was preserved of what existed? What was given a new place? And what was completely rethought?

First step in a new location

With this pop-up exhibition, Museum Rotterdam takes its first public step in Het Steiger. In the coming years, this location will be further developed into the new main location of Museum Rotterdam. The exhibition shows how Rotterdam reinvented itself: with new plans, reuse of what was there, and changing ideas about what a city should be.
