Cube House Museum

About

The Cube House Museum, known as the Kijk‑Kubus, offers a rare chance to step inside Rotterdam’s most iconic architectural experiment. Designed by Piet Blom, the cube houses tilt dramatically at 45 degrees, creating a forest‑like ensemble above the bustling Blaak district. The museum house is fully furnished to show how daily life works within its unconventional geometry, from slanted walls to custom‑built furniture that fits the unusual angles. Visitors gain insight into Blom’s vision of an urban village, where each cube represents a tree and the entire complex forms a playful, modernist landscape. Located beside the Old Harbour and the Markthal, the Cube House Museum provides an intimate look at one of the city’s boldest designs, blending creativity, innovation, and livable art in the heart of Rotterdam.
