What travelers are saying

This museum provides history of the bombing of Rotterdam and WWII.

Basically, it is about WW2, and you can see how had the city been destroyed, and rebuilt after the war, but also interesting items from the war, and I would say, if you like history, you won't be bored.

Central Rotterdam has taken the opportunity to become an amazing city in direct contrast to Amsterdam.

Small, but impressive museum

This museum shows how the WW II affected Rotterdam, a short movie about the bombing on May 14, 1940. It has a special section for children. While I was visiting a primary grade class visited. Worth a visit.
