You're standing at the Wereldmuseum Rotterdam, on the corner of the Veerhaven and the Willemskade. Take a look at the building. It looks more like a smart clubhouse than a museum, and that's exactly what it was. It was built in 1851 for the Royal Yacht Club, and King William the Third opened it a year later.

Read and hear the whole story in the Outdoor Pitstop app: check in at this place and it is yours (with Pro; new users are Pro for the first 4 weeks).
