THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET
BUSINESS AND EVENT VENUE
WORLD VENUE The Wereldmuseum, situated on the bank of the river Meuse – the gateway to the world – sits in the heart of Rotterdam’s historic shipping quarter, the Scheepvaartkwartier. This magnificent, iconic building has been a hive of activity since 1851. Today, we take that rich history and transform it into a contemporary event venue with hospitality, inspiration and culinary artistry at the core of everything we do. You name it, we organise it; from a meeting with the Rotterdam skyline as a magnificent backdrop, drinks on the quay, to a dance party. Experience the richness of the world. Welcome to the Wereldmuseum!
WERELD MUSEUM With more than 170 cultures in one city, Rotterdam embodies the world. We are inspired by this city, the many cultures that call it home, and take great pride in showing how unique the world really is. We do this with dedication in our museum, by staging impressive exhibitions and organising all kinds of great and interesting activities. But also by hosting high-profile business events, during which we serve a varied menu of top-class international dishes with a Rotterdam touch. We invite you to experience the sights and flavours of the world right here at home.
CLASS TEAM ‘We dedicate our passion and energy to make every event in this world-class venue unforgettable!’ Chef and sous chef Edwin Vonk and Fabian Oldenburger Party managers Leonie Westmaas and Braulia de Cárdenas González

WORLD CUISINE ‘I get the inspiration for our dishes from the many cultures that call Rotterdam home.’ Chef Edwin Vonk
Grand, intimate or private. Our kitchen team lovingly prepares the dishes for you and your guests. Our chefs are inspired by the richness of the incredibly diverse city of Rotterdam, which results in exciting combinations of flavours and cuisines. They can easily cater a walking dinner for 350 guests or pinchos in an informal setting for an intimate party.

CLASS ROOMS Our three rooms combine the richness of Rotterdam’s history with contemporary décor and high-tech audio-visual equipment. Furniture can be set up according to your needs. Would you like to host a private dinner or meeting in the Elie van Rijckevorsel room, or a conference, a walking dinner, and party in the impressive Ballroom or Salon? Anything and everything is possible!
MUSEUM VISIT The Wereldmuseum aims to contribute to global citizenship; our exhibitions and activities are a testament to how people around the world are all connected. Your event will become even more interesting if you arrange for a tour of the museum with one of our guides and learn about our wonderful collections and the stories they tell. And if you like to hear even more stories, then you can hop on a scooter and explore the historic Scheepvaartkwartier.
