Expo: METRO O1O

Strange but true. A graphic novel about the metropolis on the Maas. Take a journey through the history and future of the city of Rotterdam and visit the book exhibition in the Central Library Rotterdam.

Nearly 8.600 copies of the book were freely distributed to almost 15.000 first-year students in 62 schools all around the city of Rotterdam. The book is read in classes, assignments and exhibitions are made and various cultural institutions in the city link up with themes from the book.

The exhibition starts on the ground floor showing some of the contents of the book, as well as displaying results of activities at the schools and giving a preview of plans to come in other cities. On the different floors, we show how the book is connected with stories of the city and the library collection.

The exhibition is freely accessible from 8 February to 24 March 2024. More information on the Central Library Rotterdam website.
