Kunsthal Rotterdam

Enjoy an afternoon and evening of bites and drinks in the renewed Kunsthal Café, take part in a variety of workshops, and discover no fewer than seven exhibitions. Begin your weekend with an inspiring tour through the exhibition Helen Levitt. City at Play and admire New York through her lens.

Experience a comprehensive overview of the work of Helen Levitt (1913–2009) at Kunsthal Rotterdam, one of the most important street photographers of the twentieth century. With over 220 photographs, a film and colour slides, drawn for the first time from her complete archive, City at Play brings more than fifty years of work together in one exhibition. Throughout her career, Levitt photographed life on the streets of New York: children playing under an open fire hydrant, women whispering in a doorway, a couple in the subway. Never posed or sensational, but full of subtle humour, tenderness and an eye for the everyday.​​​​​​​​​

The tours last approximately 45 minutes and are free with a valid Summer Party ticket (advance registration via the website is required).
