[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For art in Rotterdam you don’t have to visit a museum in Rotterdam. Many works of art can just be found in the open space. For example the oldest statue in the Netherlands of Erasmus from Hendrik de Keyzer that dates from 1622. Or visit the modern sculptures as Santa Claus (alias gnome Buttplug) from Paul McCarty and Cascade van Joep van Lieshout.<\/p>\n

Several artworks can be found on the Beeldenroute on de Westersingel that forms part of the so called ‘Culturele As’ in Rotterdam. On the ‘sculpture terrace’ you can enjoy works of international artists like ‘Het afscheid’ (the departure) from Umberto Mastroianni en ‘L\u2019homme Qui Marche’ from Auguste Rodin.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
