Wereldmuseum Rotterdam
Kruispunt Rotterdam Exhibition
The semi-permanent Kruispunt Rotterdam exhibition places the World Museum’s collection firmly within a contemporary context, augmenting it with new works by artists and Rotterdammers who were inspired by the collection. The exhibition fosters a dialogue between the past and present, as well as between the local and the global.
Kruispunt Rotterdam shows how the city has always functioned to bring the world close to home, from the early trading expeditions of long ago, to today when it is home to the world, numbering more than 170 different nationalities among its residents. The exhibition fosters this awareness from the very start with the work Globetrotter Rotterdam by spoken word artist Derek Otte, who situates the museum’s history within the context of the debate in society today.
