Museum Rotterdam '40-'45 NU and its collection

Museum Rotterdam '40-'45 NU

In our Coolhaven location, you will experience what it means when your city is bombed. What does your life look like when you are persecuted and oppressed afterwards? An important part of the visit is the immersive Experience. You take your seat at an eight-meter-long touchscreen table. And before you know it, it's May 14, 1940. Bombs fall, the city burns, people scream, buildings collapse and houses are destroyed. And then suddenly there is nothing. A desolate barren plain. Yet this is not the end of the city. The Rotterdammers pick up the threads together and reconstruction is a fact. In this short film you experience the war up close and you see what made the city of Rotterdam so different from most cities in the Netherlands.
