## Look, search and tell stories

Look closely and you find stories everywhere: inside buildings and out in the landscape. Special and educational stories about past, present and future are the fourth dimension of the miniature world, about the Netherlands and the city and port of Rotterdam in particular.

With the treasure hunt (€ 2.00, ages 4 to 12) children search for special scenes. For ages 8 to 15 there are educational variants on water management and architecture, among other themes (€ 2.25).

## Rotterdam in miniature

World City Rotterdam (210 m²) has more than 50 modern and pre-war models, and Port of Rotterdam (125 m²) shows almost every kind of harbour. Spot Rotterdam Centraal, the cube houses and the Calandbrug.
