Wereldmuseum
The Wereldmuseum Rotterdam holds an impressive collection of art and cultural artifacts from Africa, the Americas, Oceania, Asia, and the Islamic world. The museum is housed in a historic building that once served as the Royal Yacht Club’s society house in the 19th century, founded by Prince Hendrik. Merchants and scholars of the yacht club traveled the globe and brought back remarkable objects to Rotterdam, laying the foundation for the museum’s current collection.
