About Fenix

Fenix is the new art museum about migration in Rotterdam. Artists, photographers, chefs, and other creative makers tell stories here that transcend borders. About love and farewell, coming home and feeling at home, identity and the search for happiness. At this historic place of departure and arrival, where millions of Europeans once left and people from all over the world arrived, we show that migration is timeless and personal.

Since its opening in May 2025, Fenix has welcomed nearly 400,000 visitors from 105 countries, who rate the museum an average of 9. In 2026, Fenix builds on the success of the opening year. The focus is on audience growth, anchoring program lines, and strengthening the organization as a foundation for the coming years.

About the Marketing and Communications team

The Marketing and Communications team strengthens the Fenix story. We develop content, campaigns, and formats that inform and engage our audience. In this way, we translate interest into engagement and visits.

In everything we do, we keep the visitor experience in mind: from the first introduction to the visit to the museum and a potential return visit. In doing so, we maintain Fenix's tone of voice across all channels: from social media and the website to newsletters and campaigns.
