Become a Friend!

Add Melly as your Friend

We invite you to join us in shaping the future of art and culture at Kunstinstituut Melly. Located in the heart of Rotterdam—a vibrant port city where diverse worlds meet and new stories are heard—our institution thrives on the exchange of artistic ideas. As a presentation institution without its own collection, we can engage contemporary societal issues as they arise. This makes us a dynamic meeting place for various perspectives and creative expressions.

Formerly known as Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Kunstinstituut Melly continues to build a legacy of fostering critical dialogue.

As Friend you will receive:

• Unlimited access to all exhibitions

• Invitations to programs such as workshops and lectures

• Discount on our merch and publications
