Schaakstukkenmuseum

The Schaakstukkenmuseum, inaugurated on May 1, 2006, showcases a diverse collection of chess pieces ranging from antique sets to contemporary designs inspired by popular culture and abstract art. It features rotating exhibitions and a monthly spotlight on a unique chess set, highlighting historical narratives provided by historian Marjolein Overmeer.

In addition to its extensive permanent collection, the museum hosts an annual chess piece design competition, welcoming both artists and amateurs to showcase their creativity. Visitors can engage with the collection and even participate in the jury process during the Rotterdam Museum Night, making it a vibrant hub for chess enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
