Kunsthal Rotterdam
Local name: Kunsthal Rotterdam
Kunsthal is a gallery of modern art. It is located in a modern building designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. Kunsthal is a gallery without its own collection - it does not buy or collect works of art, it organizes all exhibitions based on works borrowed from artists, collectors and other museums. Annually, over 20 different exhibitions are presented here.
The building designed by Rem Koolhaas is in itself a work of art. It has a simple, box-like form with the only vertical element - the tower. Each facade is different, and the materials used emphasize the contrasts: the architect combined expensive classic materials with common ones - next to marble and wood, he used raw concrete and corrugated metal.
The total exhibition area of Kunsthal is 3300 m2. This allows you to present several different exhibitions at the same time. The gallery also has an auditorium with several hundred seats.
