This free walk through public art in the centre of Rotterdam takes you from the sculpture ‘Reaching Out’ (2020), which is temporarily displayed at the entrance of the Kunsthal, to the sculpture ‘Moments Contained’ (2022) at the Stationsplein. Alternatively, you can walk the route in reverse: starting from the Stationsplein and heading towards the Kunsthal.
StoryLines Studio
Every day continuously
Aimée de Jongh is an artist from Rotterdam who has become world-famous with her beautifully illustrated books. The stories she tells in her drawings can take on all kinds of shapes, including comics, animations, and graphic novels. Graphic novels are comics in which the story unfolds through drawings and text balloons. In the StoryLines Studio, you create your own mini graphic novel in the exhibition space (and first, of course, get inspired by the StoryLines exhibition...).
