Rotterdam Architecture and ArtFrom: Rotterdam Travel Guide
ABOVE: In Rotterdam, even the trailers used by city work crews may be decorated with murals.

Architecture
Allow time to visit Het Nieuwe Institut at Museumpark 25. The architectural institute and museum also operates Sonneveld House, a "hypermodern house" from the 1930s with many innovations (such as hidden hi-fi speakers) that were considered state-of-the-art at the time. (Borrow an English-language audioguide at the Sonneveld House's ticket desk.)
Finally, if you'd like a tour of Rotterdam's architectural points of interest on foot, by bike, or in a bus, check UrbanGuides to see what programs are available at the time of your visit. Art
Art Rotterdam, which bills itself as "The International Art Fair of the Netherlands," takes place each February in the Rotterdam Cruise Terminal and features work from scores of galleries in Europe, the United States, and China.
