Marittime Museum
Our tour guide was a sweet old man but I couldn't hear him unless I was standing right next to him. The maritime museum was dedicated to the long history of Rotterdam being a vary important port in the Netherlands. I enjoyed the museum mostly because my grandpa was a sailor and I remember him telling me about the ships he was on. the new exhibit sex and the sea was definitely something you wouldn't normally expect from a museum like this. At one point we were watching some what of a documentary of sailors accounts of being out at sea and its peaceful with fish, dolphins and sun sets then it starts to change with semi pornographic art that the sailors would have or see and then it changed between the fish swimming around to naked humans swimming around back to fish. We all were so speechless our tour guide thought we really enjoyed the documentary, but we were speechless for a completely different reason. Even though it was odd it is something that you wouldn't think to have an exhibit on but it was interesting at the same time.

Yeah the beginning of the museum was cool with the history of Rotterdam. The exhibit about the city itself was really cool, I liked the replica they had of the city too!
ReplyDeleteIt was very interesting to see the new exhibit in the museum even though it made most of us uncomfortable. I liked the first part of the tour, when he was talking to us about the history of Rotterdam. Although I wish we would have been able to watch more of the movie that was playing in the background when he was talking.
