Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen

Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam is the world's first publicly accessible art storage facility, offering a behind-the-scenes look at a museum's collection. Located in the Museumpark, this striking mirrored building houses over 151,000 artworks from the Boijmans Van Beuningen collection, displayed in a non-curated, warehouse-style setting. Visitors can explore five climate-controlled zones, each reflecting a different material (like metal, plastic, or organic), and see restoration work in progress through glass walls. The rooftop restaurant and panoramic city views add to the experience, making it a must-visit for art lovers and architecture enthusiasts alike.
