A new art museum that shares stories of migration

At Fenix, you’ll experience migration through the eyes of international artists like Shilpa Gupta, Steve McQueen, Rineke Dijkstra, and Kimsooja. Or get swept away by hundreds of documentary photos in The Family of Migrants. In The Suitcase Labyrinth, you’ll hear personal stories from travellers themselves. Plein is a new covered city square inside the building, where Fenix creates the programming in collaboration with the people of Rotterdam. Craving a snack or anything? In Fenix, you’ll taste dishes that travel with people from all over the world.

Fenix overlooks the docks where millions of lives have changed over the past centuries. Some left for America or Canada by ship at the turn of the century, while others arrived from countries like China, Cape Verde, and Greece. Famous figures like Albert Einstein and artist Max Beckmann departed from Rotterdam. And who knows, perhaps your own family, too.
