Every year in June, OMI organizes the Day and Night of Architecture in Rotterdam. Experience the city through the eyes of architects, historians, artists, residents, and builders. With tours, walks, presentations, performances, and other activities, you’ll discover both the rich history and future developments of Rotterdam. From early in the morning until late at night, there’s something for everyone to do—whether you’re a born-and-raised Rotterdammer or visiting the city for the first time.
