Kunsthal

It is THE MUSEUM in Rotterdam. Part of the larger Musea area district in Rotterdam, this is fully dedicated to contemporary art and shows.
It is a very modern well designed and great looking museum. It is noticeable when you are inside, from the outside is a pretty nice building which completely hide himself between the higher road and the lower park.
It can get easily crowded. The bar/​restaurant is big and nice… nothing spectacular but always a good stop in between shows or to end up your viewing experience.
Part of the Museum Card network (for most of the shows).
I was there for the Keith Haring show, a very loved artist in Rotterdam. All very good.

This is a great museum for big and little kids a like! We went to the exhibition «Do it!» Which ran until the end of August and were entertained and having fun for 1.5−2 hours. Everything here was interactive and thought provoking! There was a tomato factory where you learned all about the life of a tomato. It had a greenhouse where you could pick the tomato, a fun mousetrap (game) style route to move the tomato, a quality lab with different types of tomato you could taste taste and stamp if passed, a trampoline so you could pretend you were the tomato cutting in a saucepan, a kitchen so you could make an amazing dish and an area where you could make funny animals etc out of tomatoes — a fantastic way to entertain toddlers and younger children but also very well done and interesting as watching the kids is fun in its self. Yes we did go on the trampoline too! There was an exhibition by Yoko Ono where you can travel through a strange surreal land as a rabbit hopping about (or not) on the lawn at the street front of the museum. You could wear and decorate rabbit masks and do things like take selfies with the art and pick things up to pose with. Quite surreal fun. There was a room you could draw on and add something of yourself to the art. It was great walking around watching what people had and were adding and being able to add something yourself in pen. There was another room like this where you could do similar with chalk. There was also art you were invited to take a piece of to keep which is quite exciting. There were a lot of fun things to see and do here, it was a very well done modern art museum and I would highly recommend it.
Do it!

Who’s everyone’s favorite spy? Could it be James Bond a.k.a 007? Duh! The Kunsthal has an expo on her majesty’s favorite spy. It looks great! The first thing you see is the famous orange bikini from that equally famous scene. And smack dab in the middle of the auditorium there is the iconic Asthon Martin. The original James Bond, Sean Connory next to it in full life size glory.
The expo consist of clips from favorite/​famous scenes, a lot of iconic props and costumes. There is a room soley dedicated to the casino scene’s throughout the Bond movies. A life size casino table fills the room with manikins of the actors around it. There’s also een fairly big replica of the ice hotel in one of the rooms. And check this out, the revolving round bed with the gold sprayed girl form ‘Goldfinger” is also in the expo. Must sound very nice to a lot of male ears! There is so much to see, enough to fill 1 or 1.5 hours. You can also look at Ian Flemming’s original books and a small history about him. My fave is the photo wall of all the different Bond actors and their fake Bond ID’s. So if you want something to do in the weekend that lightens up these gloomy winter days, go to the Kunsthal. The expo is there untill february 8, 2015.
