You are as young as you feel during the museum night at the Maritime Museum Rotterdam. A night of dreaming about the things that keep you young and enjoying them. Get your feet off the floor, go on a voyage or discover and feel free from everyday worries for a while.
The young DJ’s of Music Matters will make you swing, after which you enter the (under)water world of the children's activity expo 'Plons! The future of the sea'.
With AI assistant Slopie you can make something new from maritime demolition material, go on stage or play a game! A treasure hunt awaits you, as well as talks about migration over sea.
Experience Rotterdam at its best in 'Destination Port City' or test your technical skills in the 'Offshore Experience', the interactive platform in the middle of the sea.

Rotterdam DJ’s makes sure everything flows together.
The Music Matters -is all about upcoming talent- and tonight they are guests in the museum! Put on a waterproof fit, dive back in time with the DJ’s from Music Matters and relive your childhood classics and the unstoppable god feels of water!
Welcome to our arcade game café. Here you can enjoy your old drink - too sweet or too strong - while the gaming continues. Back in time when you went out for the first time and your parents just didn't come to pick you up. Going out wasn't just about drinks and dancing, because in addition to hanging out and chilling, gaming was also on the menu. What was your favourite? Of course, you had to be careful, because before you knew it, all your money was in the pinball machine.
Let yourself be carried away by the music, go chill, play pinball or game!
When working at sea, nerves of steel and perfect precision are a must. Can you keep a cool head while performing under extreme conditions?
In the ‘Offshore Experience’ you can test your skills, where technical knowledge and gaming experience can come in handy. Perhaps this is your new path? Are you suited for the offshore, and do you dare to take on this maritime challenge?
Here you can really go back in time and see the museum through the eyes of a 4-12 year old.
Get to work together in the museum's newest children's activity expo. A digital experience at deep sea level. The old Professor Plons has made room for the younger generation - your generation. Come play and experience. Age does not matter this evening.
Here you have to work together!
Do you know your own city?
Join us on a journey of discovery and learn more about Rotterdam, the history and places you've never heard of. What are the recent developments and future dreams of the city in which no fewer than 170 different nationalities and cultures live side by side? Rotterdam; the city where the port, industry and nature try to be in balance with each other.
Step into the virtual metro and join us on a journey!
Will you solve the riddles linked to titles, authors or maritime themes during this exciting treasure hunt?
After a visit to our museum library, you can call yourself a maritime expert. The library of the Maritime Museum has existed since 1857 and is the oldest and most comprehensive maritime collection in the Netherlands. This is the place to learn more about maritime subjects, to browse through history, or to discover what is currently happening in the maritime field.
Have you ever wanted to travel the world yourself?
A selection of smart 18-25 year old scientists and nature conservationists from 200 countries and states did it, the ‘Darwin Leaders’. They went on board the Rotterdam sailing ship the 'Oosterschelde' which for the past two years has travelled the same route as Charles Darwin almost 200 years ago. Our young curator will tell you more about this special journey and the route they took.
Do you feel anchored/at home in Rotterdam and the Netherlands?
In the exhibition Anchored?! young makers talk about their feelings and experiences. Travelling around the world because you like it is very different from when there is no other option. Is it possible to go home again, or is the final destination your new home base? Where do you come from, and what is your story?
Building ships is in the blood of the Dutch. How did that come about? Discover it in the exhibition ‘Launch!’.
Get started yourself and learn how to build a sturdy seaworthy ship. What does it take to ensure that your ship does not capsize, can pass under all bridges and fits in narrow waterways. So roll up your sleves and get started: choose the right tools and ensure a sturdy construction. Learn everything about Maritime Dutch design through the ages.
Get going!
Sustainable work, making something new from something old, is very much of our time.
During Museumnacht010, AI assistant Slopie will help you with your new creation. First, dismantle an old maritime device and make a new creation together with AI assistant Slopie.
Make It together!
