In the spring of 2025, Fenix will open its doors. Fenix takes you on a journey through contemporary art, history, stories, and flavors, located at the very crossroads of departure and arrival. This is the site where millions of Europeans set sail and just as many people from around the globe arrived. Team Fenix is creating the world’s first museum that, through a collection of contemporary art, shows that migration is a timeless phenomenon.
Where people travel, flavors, traditions, and recipes travel with them. Food is indispensable when telling stories about migration. Fenix offers visitors culinary experiences inspired by the cuisines of those who arrived in and departed from Rotterdam.
At Fenix, you’ll work in a diverse and passionate team where culture, migration, and hospitality come together. Together, you’ll translate stories from around the world into unique culinary and hospitable experiences. Your team is made up of individuals with diverse talents, all contributing to Fenix’s mission and Vermaat’s high standards.
