Portlantis, set to open on March 22, 2025, is a groundbreaking exhibition space designed by MVRDV, celebrating Rotterdam's rich maritime heritage. This innovative museum, described as 'a museum with no collection,' focuses on storytelling rather than traditional exhibits. It connects the city's past, present, and future through its architectural design, fostering interaction among diverse groups. Layers of rotating boxes offer unique perspectives of the port, with each floor dedicated to different temporal aspects—current activities, historical impact, and future developments. As a hub for dialogue and learning, Portlantis transforms how visitors engage with Rotterdam's identity.
MVRDV's design principles led to Portlantis being conceived as a living, dynamic hub, where architecture and narrative intertwine to enhance visitor experience.
Portlantis showcases how a museum can exist without a traditional collection, instead focusing on the stories behind a city’s maritime heritage.
