Open to everyone, the Netherlands Architecture institute (NAi) is a cultural institute that uses various methods to examine architecture, urban development and spatial planning. Since 1993 the NAi has been housed in an impressive building designed by Jo Coenen and located on the edge of the Museum Park in the centre of Rotterdam. The NAi offers educational programmes and has a library, study room, specialised bookshop and lovely museum café.
The Netherlands Architecture Institute is more than just a museum. The museum’s most prominent piece, Huis Zonneveld, is a museum house that was designed as an ultra-modern home in 1933, full of light, space and a surprising amount of colour. Created by architectural firm Brinkman & Van der Vlucht, the house is one of the best-preserved examples of the New Movement. With modern tube-framed furniture and many high-tech devices, the interior shows visitors what it was like to live in an ultra-modern home in 1933. An audio tour completes the experience!
