Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen

Boijmans Van Beuningen is a versatile and idiosyncratic museum. The museum was founded by and for Rotterdam residents, and has been situated in the heart of Rotterdam since 1849. Just like the city itself, Boijmans stands for extraordinary experiences. The current collection consists of more than 151,000 objects, including masterpieces by artists ranging from Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, Jan van Eyck and Rembrandt to Dalí, Kees van Dongen, Edvard Munch and Charley Toorop. Boijmans also prominently features the installations of contemporary artists, such as Yayoi Kusama’s mirror room. The breadth of the collection originated in the passions of private collectors. The museum owes its name to two seminal collectors: Frans Boijmans and Daniël George van Beuningen. The museum has been closed since late May 2019 for a major renovation and renewal, for which Mecanoo architects were selected to produce the design

The first public-accessible art depot in the world, is located in the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum area in Museumpark, Rotterdam. See the 173-year collection works, more than 152,000 pieces of art collected.
