Politiecollectie Rotterdam: uniforms and equipment

The Historische Collectie Politie Eenheid Rotterdam on the Boezemsingel focuses on regional police heritage. Uniforms, equipment and stories are the stated components of this small-scale collection.

Plan your visit ↗

Clothing as information

Look at how a uniform combines function and recognisability. The explanations can help you understand the meaning of individual elements, without your needing to know about insignia or equipment beforehand.

The use behind an object

Equipment becomes more interesting when it is clear what it was used for. Ask what explanations are available during the visit and let specific stories connect with the objects on display.

Get in touch first

Secondary visitor information gives Tuesday afternoon as the opening time. Because the current visiting status is not entirely clear, it is sensible to get in touch before travelling to the Boezemsingel.

Before you go

Have the Tuesday opening confirmed directly. Old closure notices and current guidebook hours do not give a consistent picture; also ask about accessibility and the guidance available.
