The new one will be on Wednesday 18 June Rotterdam Art Route, from Beurs metro station to City Hall launched. BKOR and SIR, in collaboration with the Bureau Monumenten en Cultuurhistorie of the municipality of Rotterdam, have developed a new route with the theme of art and architecture in the so-called Post65 era, the period between 1965 and 1990. In no other period was so much built in Rotterdam as then. The city centre got mirrored towers, brutalist office blocks and experimental residential areas, such as the Cube Houses. In the field of art, a critical counter-movement arose in which artists translated the businesslike visual language of architecture into swinging abstract art, pop art with humor and more color.

Rotterdam Architecture Month
The five kilometer long Rotterdam Art Route, from Beurs metro station to City Hall is available from Thursday 19 June at Tourist Information Rotterdam and in the festival heart of Rotterdam Architecture Month. In honor of this new route map, we are also organizing a guided tour led by our regular art guide Anne-Marie Ros. The route takes you via back roads through the center along 20 works of art and 19 buildings, which largely date from the Post65 period. Click here to register in advance for this walk.
