The story

Story · Havenmuseum

  • en
  • nl

You're standing on the Leuvehaven in Rotterdam, at the Harbour Museum. Look around. This museum isn't a building, it's the harbour itself. Old ships are moored along the quays and in the water, and harbour cranes stand on the dockside. Together they show how the port of Rotterdam worked between roughly 1850 and 1970.
