With the main museum next door being closed until 2030/31 for major renovation the bad news is that all art works have been put in storage. The good news is that the storage facility is open to the public. This amazing mirror covered bowl contains the Boijmans complete collection as well has having an amazing roof garden.

Opened on 5th November 2021 by King Willem Alexander the nearly 40 meter high reflective depot in the centre of Rotterdam was seen throughout the world as a new type of public place; the workplace behind the exhibition room. The idea is clear: in the depot, the visitor experiences the world behind the scenes of the museum.
