Portlantis, designed by MVRDV, is an innovative exhibition space in Rotterdam that celebrates the city's maritime heritage and its future. Scheduled to open on March 22, 2025, this museum, termed 'a museum with no collection,' focuses on storytelling rather than artifacts. Situated along the coast, its architecture embodies the merging of past and present, facilitating discussions among various community groups. The design's emphasis on interactivity and narrative aligns closely with the city's industrial background, enhancing the visitor experience through integrated communal spaces and exhibition areas.
We were in the extraordinary position that we had no collection, we only had a story,
MVRDV's design for Portlantis is built around a key principle - content and form are inseparable, creating a cohesive narrative space.
