Boijmans in the City: Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in a changing society

In 2017, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen organised the exhibition ‘Change the System’, in which fifty designers presented solutions for global social issues and demonstrated the transformative power of design and art. Curator Annemartine van Kesteren is now applying the solutions and the network generated by the exhibition within Rotterdam by programming various urban interventions in collaboration with partners in the city. Over the next four years, Boijmans is developing a Changemakers programme called ‘Boijmans in the City’, which will address urban problems such as poverty and underrepresentation of minority voices.
Boijmans Next Door

2019 saw the start of a series of exhibitions at our neigbours in Rotterdam and Schiedam. Boijmans Next Door involved a great collaborative effort between Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and eight neighbouring museums and institutions in Rotterdam.
Rehousing of the collection to Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen

The rehousing of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen’s collection of more than 151,000 artworks to the new depot has begun. The works are being moved to their new home from five external temporary storage locations in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Collectie

There are thousands of artworks on Boijmans Collection Online. The museum takes you on a journey through the history of art.

d-g-van-beuningen
verdieping
D.G. van Beuningen (1877-1955) Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen gets the second part of its name from Daniël George van Beuningen. His house was hung full with his favourite artworks, which were integrated into his everyday life. Every inch of wall space was covered with paintings. Pieter Bruegel’s ‘The Tower of Babel’ hung above a stove on which, according to his granddaughter, he regularly fried eggs and bacon.

verdieping
Crafts: Glass Glass can be blown, pressed and engraved. And there are many other ways of manipulating this material. What effects do the different techniques have? Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen’s collection contains numerous objects that illustrate different traditional glass working techniques and show what is possible with this fascinating material.
crafts-ceramics
verdieping
Crafts: Ceramics The term ‘ceramics’ is traditionally used for objects made from clay. Ceramic is very hard and has therefore been used throughout history for making many household objects.
