With its progressive principles and innovative design elements, this Unesco World Heritage site is a testament to Rietveld's and Schröder’s vision and dedication to pushing the boundaries.
Upon arrival at the ticket office, you will be handed a media player device that will serve as your personal guide throughout the house.
