Now that the holiday madness is over, I'm plotting another visit to Rotterdam to check out the many museums I still haven't seen.

Near the top of my list is the Rotterdam Historical Museum. At the branch known as De Dubbelde Palmboom, an exhibit featuring unique portraits taken in Rotterdam are of particular interest to me. The portraits are by the photographer Eric van der Schalie (1954) who's work is apparently very closely tied to the city.

Tickets for the museum are only 3€ and with that same ticket you can go see exhibits at the other location, the Schielandshuis. The website is unfortunately in Dutch, but if you check out the site and scroll down you can find directions and tram info, it is not hard to find. Ill bring my camera and get back to you with a report.
