Rotterdam

Rotterdam.jpgRotterdam is a city of infinite variety, a city with a thousand faces. There's just so much to see, and there are so many different aspects to the city. And the picture changes every day - Rotterdam is impossible to capture on film, it's changing so rapidly. It's a truly dynamic city, a city with a thousand, ever-changing faces.

Rotterdam is one of the most important cities of the Netherlands. It has the biggest harbour in the world. During world war II the center of Rotterdam was almost completely destroyed. That's why today Rotterdam has the most modern buildings of the Netherlands. A lot of modern art objects like statues can be seen on the streets.

Rotterdam has many museums. Well known museums are the "Boijmans-van Beuningen Museum", the Netherlands Architecture Institute, the Historisch Museum, the Volkenkundig Museum (foreign peoples and cultures), the Kunsthal (design by Rem Koolhaas),the center for contemporary art Witte de With, the Maritiem Museum and the Brandweermuseum (Fire brigade museum).

The continuous development of its modern city center is making Rotterdam both a laboratory and a podium for modern architecture in which innovation is the number one priority.
