Huis Sonneveld

Om museet

Huis Sonneveld was designed in 1932/33 by the firm Brinkman en Van der Vlugt, more precisely by Leendert van der Vlugt, for Albertus Sonneveld, a director of the Van Nelle factory. The same firm also designed the Van Nelle factory and the Feyenoord stadium. The family – Albertus, his wife Gésine and their daughters Puck and Gé – lived here in the style of Nieuwe Bouwen.

The house is regarded as one of the best-preserved homes of this movement and as a total work of art: architecture and furnishings are coordinated with one another, with tubular steel furniture by Gispen, glass from the Glasfabriek Leerdam, textiles by Chris Lebeau and vases by Andries Copier. It is a Rijksmonument.

After a restoration it opened as a house museum in 2001 and is run by Het Nieuwe Instituut. Visitors get free audio tours, can also explore the house in 3D by iPad or VR headset, and see a film about the 2001 restoration in a documentation centre. The rooms show how a wealthy Rotterdam family lived in the 1930s.
