About this audio guide
This guide to the Markthal in Rotterdam starts in January twenty eighteen, when food inspectors walked into a hall that had just been shut over a mouse problem. From there it looks up at a ceiling borrowed from seventeenth-century Dutch still lifes, and at the homes built into the arch above the stalls. Stand in the middle of the hall, where you can see both the painted vault and the windows set into it.
