Press release:

Meet the neighbours in Super Street!

Following a major revamp, the Wereldmuseum opens Rotterdam’s number one expo for kids!

Welcome to the heart of Rotterdam: Super Street!  The brand-new Wereldmuseum is home to ten Rotterdammers who live and work here. From Saturday 7 July, 2019 they’ll be opening their doors to the public. So come on in and have a chat with these neighbours and get to hear the stories on the street. In Super Street you’ll discover you don’t need to leave Rotterdam to see the world.

A street where everyone is welcome

It’s ‘meet the neighbours’ day in Super Street and that means everyone’s welcome. Take a tour with master of ceremonies Freddy, who knows all the latest local gossip. Or browse in Aga’s new boutique where you’ll discover wares from all over the world. Experiment with letters at artist Kevin’s studio and take a peek behind its secret door. Or let Rodney put you through your paces as you learn a dance for the summer carnival and hear all about the colourful costumes. This way kids from six to twelve experience what unites these neighbours with one another and the world.

What do these neighbours have in common? They all have one foot in the world and the other in Rotterdam. They were born and raised here, moved here or fled here. Together they revel in the best of both worlds, living alongside one another in Super Street and symbolizing the many cultures that enrich this city. Because if you live in Rotterdam, a city that’s home to more than 170 different nationalities, you can be sure of one thing: you’re a cosmopolitan!
