This was an experience! Going through the five levels of this building, you can understand what museology stands for. You also understand how great architecture becomes a pleasure for the senses. Definitely worth visiting.

Impressive architecture with an interesting back story. The depot itself offered an insight into the work that goes behind the museum. The roof terrace allowed a beautiful view over the city.

Even if you don’t know anything about art, you will enjoy it there!
There are free tour guides for different languages, I think it is better to go with the tour so you can understand more.
It didn’t cost me to much.

Don’t recommend to visit. It looks like a bad joke: there are famous paintings but you couldn’t see it due to it’s a storage. Only some of them in “highlights”. It’s hard to describe the disappointment. If it&rsquo.. Read more »;s a museum, IKEA is a museum too.

Actually it is open now, but there is construction works near by. It is nice gallery with modern shop. You should buy a ticket in advance because it’s popular place.

20 euros for an entrance ticket to the corridor from which you can see the storage room with closed exopanates through the glass. A rip off! I do not recommend.

Pretty great area of Rotterdam ✅. Temporary closed (FYI), went there in July 2022. However, the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen which is located nearby is open to the public, and sincerely worth going there. Very impressive artistic area. Furthermore, R..

What an amazing experience this place is. Inside is a whole new world, the concept of art hanging like this and how you can turn on storage lights I have never seen in another museum. Incredible. The outside is also stunning. Highly recommended place.. Read more » to visit, a MUST in Rotterdam!

Impressive building with a art world to be discovered. I can recommend a free guided tour. It will help you to understand the building, the collection and the way they store.

The idea is interesting - to show the storage building as a museum. Overall it was a pleasant experience, the amount of artworks exhibited was quite limited though

Really interesting building but you couldn't actually see much of the art.
Almost all the paintings were stored as if they were in the storage room and you could take a glimpse of the amount from the glass in front of the rooms with the shelves... Read more » There is a qr code next to the glass which you can scan and see what is stored inside the room. But I don't understand what is the point of paying to enter, if you can not actually see most of the art and you see mostly storage rooms. If I wanted to see everything via the app I could have just done this online and not paying to visit the museum. I understand that they are in the process of renovating but could be smarter if they kept the previous building open until they are almost done with the new one, and then keep it close for a few months until all the art pieces are transferred.
I had visited the previous museum and it was fantastic, I really liked it much more .
They only amazing thing ,is indeed how they have built the inside of the new glass dome, but In my personal opinion only , would fit more to a museum regarding mostly technology and science. It creates a very cold environment with all this glass. And it doesn't feel the same when you see for example old paintings.

Really disappointed.
You can't go anywhere if you haven't booked a ticket.
Even for access to the rooftop or taking a coffee.
So take this advice. Book your tickets in advance or use your time for visiting anything else in the city

I couldn’t get tickets to enter, but went to see it from outside and at night they have nice illuminations on the floor, and the architecture and door details was great to appreciate without entering the building though.

The museum closed in May 2019 for a years long renovation. Part of the collection can now be seen in other museums in Rotterdam. See the Boijmans website for more information. Next to the museum a new depot is being build. Even though they are still .. Read more »busy building this depot, the building itself is already interesting enough to take a look! In the gigantic mirrored walls of the cup shaped building you can see the skyline of Rotterdam centre. The depot will be opened in 2021 and will be open to the public.

Quite a good museum if you are looking for more modern pieces and products. They have quite a wide collection of chairs and products from 1920 to recently.
