In 1905 the museum was opened to the public as the Museum of Antiquities located at the Schielandshuis. In 1948 it was renamed the Historical Museum Rotterdam with the explicit purpose to preserve, describe and inventory objects related to urban history.

In 2011 the museum was renamed Museum Rotterdam, with the aim to exhibit Rotterdam as a contemporary transnational city in past and present sense. Since 2016 it is located in the Timmerhuis designed by Rem Koolhaas in the city center, with a second location at the Coolhaven, called Museum Rotterdam ’40-’45 NU.

Due to an ongoing reorganization in 2020 the Museum Rotterdam was relocated in the location at the Coolhaven.
