What is there to do
for
Art is not something just to be looked at; it is something you experience. In order to make art accessible to the widest possible audience, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen has developed some special programmes. Unforgettable Boijmans, for example, is an interactive guided tour for people with dementia and their carers. The museum has developed Unseen Boijmans, a programme for blind and visually impaired visitors. For deaf and hearing impaired visitors there is the programme Unheard Boijmans. The Art Talk programme for adults has been specially developed for language teachers and is aimed at developing Dutch language skills. Check out the full programme here.
Open today until 17:00
There are thousands of artworks on Boijmans Collection Online. The museum takes you on a journey through the history of art.
