One year ago, on 26 May 2019, the doors of Museumpark 18 closed for Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen’s major renovation and the museum went ‘into transit’. What has happened since then? And what are the future plans?
Despite the closure, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen’s world-renowned collection of more than 151,000 artworks has not been locked away. Until March, the collection travelled to schools, institutions and museums in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and abroad. These activities will resume when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Construction of the new Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen has continued unabated with increased safety precautions. To stay in touch with its public, the museum has launched an online programme called B home, with a range of fun activities.
