Outdoor space
Indulge your passion for culture not only inside the Nieuwe Instituut, but also around it. Visit the New Garden and Sonneveld House, or admire the works of art in the institute’s outdoor spaces.
Sonneveld House
The Sonneveld House museum is one of the best-preserved domestic examples of the modernist Nieuwe Bouwen style. Inside you can see how a wealthy Rotterdam family lived in the 1930s.
Research Centre
Drop in to the Research Centre during museum opening hours. It’s a place where you can work, read books and magazines or visit a mini exhibition. Or make an appointment to consult the archives of the National Collection.
Bookshop
For inspiration and information on architecture, urban planning, landscape and design, visit the NAi Booksellers bookshop in the foyer of the Nieuwe Instituut.
Nieuwe Café
Chef Manuela Goncalves Tavares and her team run the Nieuwe Café. The menu is colourful, mostly plant-based, seasonal and delicious. You don’t need a museum ticket to visit the café, which has a lovely terrace.
