World Museum
Central in the historic Shipping Quarter lies the World Museum. Right on the Maas, the gateway to the world. In the stunning, iconic building, activities have been buzzing since 1851. We translate the rich past into a contemporary modern wedding and event venue where hospitality, inspiration, and culinary quality are central.
With us, anything is possible; from ceremony to party. Exchange your vows with a view of Rotterdam's most beautiful skyline, welcome your guests during a reception by the quay, or throw a swinging party with the grandeur of yesteryear. Experience the richness of the world. Welcome to the World Museum!
Wedding Venue
Our three rooms are full of Rotterdam history, have a modern decor, and all the necessary audiovisual facilities. The furniture can be adjusted to your wishes in different setups. In the Elie van Rijckevorsel Room, toasts can be made or intimate dinners can be held with a small group. The Ballroom, possibly in combination with the Salon, can be used for a larger group during the ceremony, dinner, or party.
World Cuisine
Grand, intimate, or private. Our kitchen team cooks with love for everyone. The chefs are inspired by the richness of the super-diverse city that Rotterdam is. This results in exciting flavor combinations. They easily cater a reception with pinchos or a dinner for 200 people. Check out our Foodbook here.
