The Maritime Museum is turning yellow for the first international start of the Tour de France Femmes. A place where there is already much to celebrate this year as the museum celebrates its 150th anniversary this summer in various ways and at various times with the city.
Program highlights:
Sunday, August 11: The Maritime Museum and the historic museum harbor are located on the route of the Rotterdam Cycling Festival. Are you coming to cheer on your friends and family, or do you want to make a pit stop on the route? There is plenty to do for young and old at the Maritime Museum. From a tour on and along the museum ships at our dock to deck swabbing or enjoying a nice ice cream at our ice cream parlor Loeve. Or step into the museum and discover the often-invisible maritime world that is so important to Rotterdam.
Tuesday, August 13: In the museum harbor, we are ready to welcome all cycling fans and provide them with a fantastic day while the peloton flashes by in the morning at the end of the 2nd stage. In the afternoon, you have a prime spot on the quay of the Maritime Museum to watch the individual time trial. Meanwhile, listen to the sounds of, among others, the eco-feminist punk band Herr Hamsterfleisch from Club Gewalt. They will perform from the floating stage in the museum harbor.
The quay of the Maritime Museum is also, literally and figuratively, the stage for Circus City. With two companies: Duo Kaos with the act Time to Loop, an act with bicycles, and Fenja with the act Cyrrealism, an act with a big Cyr wheel in which she shows extraordinary and imaginative tricks.
In short, enjoy a great, family-oriented and varied program. The museum, museum pier and workshops are open until 5 p.m. Museum Cafe the Low Light and programming on the wharf will run until 7 p.m.
