Kunstinstituut Melly is one of the most dynamic cultural centers in Rotterdam, dedicated to contemporary art and critical reflection on the present. Known until 2021 as Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, it changed its name to better represent its inclusive values and its mission of openness to the community.
The museum hosts temporary exhibitions, site-specific projects, performances, talks, and educational programs involving emerging and established artists from around the world. Kunstinstituut Melly stands out for its experimental and participatory approach, aimed at stimulating debate on social, cultural, and political issues through the language of art.
Within its headquarters on Witte de Withstraat, one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods, the center offers innovative exhibition spaces, an art bookstore, and a constantly evolving program. The public can participate in workshops, guided tours, and events designed to bring contemporary art closer to all generations.
Kunstinstituut Melly is a reference point for those seeking a stimulating and unconventional cultural experience in the Dutch art scene. It is particularly appreciated by students, artists, and the curious looking for new perspectives on the contemporary world.
