The Depot
The Depot of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is the world’s first art depot open to the public. The iconic 40 metre high building stands in the heart of Rotterdam’s Museumpark and immediately catches the eye with its reflective exterior and impressive interior. The Depot houses the museum’s entire collection: more than 155,000 works of art, collected over a period of 175 years.
At the Depot, visitors are literally given a glimpse behind the scenes of the museum. The artworks are spread across fourteen storage areas with five different climate zones. The building also houses four restoration workshops where visitors can watch restorers at work.
