The 2 photos below are from the
Boijmans van Beuningen Museum (temporarily closed for renovation). The
Van Steur building was the first part of the museum and build in 1935. Luckily it survived the bombings of World War 2.

| Schieland Huis in Rotterdam |
Het Schieland Huis (photo above) is one of the oldest buildings in Rotterdam, build in 1665 as office for the Hoogheemraadschap of Schieland. In 1840 the local government bought the house and it became the first location for the
Museum Boijmans. In 1864 a big fire destroyed most op the interior of the Schieland Huis. The house was restored (but changed) and became again Museum Boymans and Museum Rotterdam. Luckily it survived the bombings of World War 2. After the war the house was abandoned and empty. But in the 1980's the Schieland Huis was renovated again, this time to bring it back to the original form.

| Old Luxor theatre in Rotterdam |
The
Old Luxor Theatre was build in 1917 as the
Luxor Palast and would become the most famous theatre and cinema of the Netherlands. The building survived many renovations and even the bombings of World War 2. Nowadays there is a new Luxor Theatre at the Kop van Zuid, but the original is still alive & kicking at the Kruiskade in Rotterdam.
