Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen

The world's first public art storage depot, with a bowl-shaped mirrored exterior that reflects the city and a rooftop garden with views over the whole city.

Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen opened in 2021. Designed by MVRDV, the bowl-shaped building is clad in 1,664 mirrored glass panels. Inside, visitors can watch the storage, restoration and handling of around 150,000 works, including masterpieces by Rembrandt, Rubens and Dalí. The rooftop garden and restaurant overlook the museum park. Tickets are about €20, and advance booking is recommended. The main Boijmans museum building is closed for renovation.
