    The Kijk-kubus, also known as the Cube House or Show Cube, is an iconic architectural attraction in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This distinctive yellow cube-shaped house is part of a larger complex of tilted cube dwellings designed by architect Piet Blom. Visitors can explore a furnished interior that demonstrates how residents live in these unconventional spaces.

    Many reviewers appreciate the unique design and concept of the Kijk-kubus, praising its innovative architecture and the opportunity to experience life inside a cube house. The museum offers insights into 1970s Dutch design and urban planning. The panoramic views of Rotterdam from the upper levels are often highlighted as a positive aspect.

    However, some visitors find the space cramped and the stairs steep, which can be challenging for those with mobility issues. A few reviewers mention that the experience is relatively brief and may not justify the entrance fee for some. The furnishings and information provided are sometimes described as basic or outdated.

    Despite these drawbacks, most visitors find the Kijk-kubus to be an interesting and educational stop in Rotterdam, particularly for architecture enthusiasts and those curious about alternative living spaces. It provides a quick but memorable glimpse into a unique architectural experiment that has become a recognizable part of Rotterdam's skyline.

    Het Kubushuis heeft mij totaal verrast. Indrukwekkend en een enorme beleving. Wel raakte ik gelijk mijn orientatie kwijt wat me in de war en aan het struikelen bracht. Vraag me echt af hoe je zo'n kubus gezellig inricht met al die aparte raampjes en hoekjes. Blij dat ik dit mocht beleven aan het einde van het jaar, hoogtepuntje en nu op naar het Textielmuseum in Tilburg, kan niet wachten.

    Ik was hier erg benieuwd naar, maar het viel uiteindelijk een beetje tegen. De buitenkant is erg mooi, maar binnen is het een beetje vergane glorie. De woning is klein en je bent dus vrij snel uitgekeken.
