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.
