We are proud to present the new website www.bkor.nl, a database with an overview of works of art in the public space of Rotterdam.

The works of art from the Sculpture International Rotterdam collection are also included in the database. Works of art can be sorted by title, year, area or type of image via a submenu. In addition, it is possible to sort by category, so that an overview is created of works with themes such as literature, animals, color, water or light.
