    The Dutch photomuseum has a unique collection of 70 Dutch photographers. Their work gives a lively picture of Dutch society in the 19th and 20th century. In 2005 the museum hopes to open its doors in The Las Palmas building at Kop van zuid in Rotterdam.

    The Nature museum has a big collection from butterflies to fossil mammals and much more. The antique mansion Villa Dijkzigt built in 1852 is where the museum is housed. The museum was extended by a modern glass pavillion in 1995.

    Although Rotterdam give a modern city look but there are few buildings, which have some old history and great design and one of them is undoubtedly Het Schielandshuis. It was designed and established in second era of sixteenth century and it was under the use of polder authority's residence, meeting room and reception room

    NAi stands for Netherlands Architecture Institute. Because Rotterdam is the architectural Capital of the Netherlands this institute is located here. The building itself is a special artwork of architecture, designed by Jo Coenen, situated at the edge of the Museumpark in the centre of Rotterdam. Photo: taken of NAI website.

    The Kunsthal is a exhibitionhall that offers about 25 exhibitions annually at 3300 m2 of exhibition space. There are three main halls, a design-gallery and a photo-gallery. So five or six exhibitions can be held simultaneously. The striking and compact building is designed by Rem Koolhaas and Fumi Hoshino. It is a nice artwork of architecture. Except the exhibition halls there is spacious auditorium, a café-restaurant and a bookshop.

    The annual exhibitions in the Kunsthal display a wide range of varied forms of art and culture like art, design and photography, old and new, elitist and popular. The Kunsthal often experiments with themes that have never been used for an exhibition before, which approach produces a fascinating repertoire. I saw an interesting overview exhibition of Picasso as well.

    Due to renovation and expansion activities, a reasonable part of the collection is not on show. However the collection of art regarding the 1750-1930 periode is open to the public.

    New is the variety of paintings, sculptures and applied art. The highlight of the exhibition is the hall with impressionist work (a.o. five Monets and Degas' sculptures). The collection on dispaly also includes works by Breitner, Canaletto, Cezanne, Degas, van Dongen, van Gogh, Koekkoek, Kandinsky, Mondriaan Monet and Signac. Entrance is e6.

    The Dutch Photo Museum has the intention to show the diversity of all forms of photography in the broadest sense of the word, not only as an artistic form of expression, but also as a medium of social expression and commentary.

    The Nederlands Fotomuseum (Dutch Photo Museum) covers various types of photography, like artistic, documentary and amateur photography with subjects as nature, landscape, architecture, fashion and sports. The musem shows also the varied forms of expression and distribution, like books, magazines, newspapers, projection, internet and the digital highway. There is also attention for the various use of photgraphy by other disciplines, like in arts, journalism, television and film.

    The Museum houses not only a museum, but also the Dutch Photo Archives and a restoration workshop. I visited the museum for the first time work related, just after it was moved from Amsterdam to Rotterdam and has opened its doors in 1994.

    Opening hours:
    11am till 5pm, closed at mondays.

    Rotterdam is filled with museums in many different categories. My personal favourites are "Booijmans-Van Beuningen" and the "Kunsthal", both well known for their contemporary art exhibitions.

    Booijmans-Van Beuningen also has a very large collection of old masterpieces from famous painters from around the world. I will put all museums together in one travelogue, so for art and culture see my t-logue.
