About
Most parking garages are purely functional spaces, but beneath Rotterdam Market Hall lies one with a unique twist—a history lesson of the city’s past.
Dig beneath an old city, and you’ll often find layers of discarded history. That’s what ‘de tijdtrap’ (or ‘The Stairs of Time’) tries to show. It’s a descent through the centuries.
The journey starts in 1273 with the oldest found items, and works its way up until current day.
The research also resulted in a cookbook that discussed food habits during this period.
