Families

One of the most fun outings in Rotterdam for the whole family

Looking for a fun and educational outing for the whole family? In Wereldmuseum Rotterdam there is plenty to see and do for young and old. Take a journey together along stories, objects and rituals from all parts of the world. Children can have fun with interactive treasure hunts, creative workshops and surprising exhibitions.

The museum invites you to look, do and talk together. About questions like: Why do people celebrate? What does family mean in other cultures? Or where does my food actually come from? Whether you go out with a toddler, teenager or grandfather: everyone feels welcome. Come along and experience together how much fun it is to discover the world.

Sunday tour and making activity

Every Sunday from 1 December to 31 August, Wereldmuseum Rotterdam offers a free tour of the Made in China exhibition. Explore the past and present of China's making culture, from trade networks and traditional techniques to the vision of contemporary artists. Join the creative activity and learn the art of copying by creating your own chequered painting inspired by masterpieces by the famous Qi Baishi.

World Museum Rotterdam is a treasure trove of human creativity. Looking at it closely makes you want to make something yourself. You can do that in the Atelier! After gaining inspiration in the hall, you will get your hands on materials you have never used before and learn a technique.

Take part in fun workshops for young and old. On Sundays and during school holidays, there are entry-level workshops for all ages or families.
