Good stuff. Note there's a typo in your title ("BoijmEns").
Depot Boijmans provides a unique perspective on the inner workings of a museum. And the educational concept permeates the whole experience. Right now, they have a room where visitors can look at the back of paintings of different vintages to get a sense of canvas types, writings from previous owners, other museums' tags where the painting was lent, etc. It features Bruegel's Tower of Babel, which is a great opportunity to look at it closely - probably harder when set up in the actual museum. This painting was the gem in Van Beuningen's collection that Rotterdam got in 1958.
The building is a perfect mix of signature and utility, as mirrors are the best way to keep light out. It's also great fun to film: ruclips.net/video/pUEGsK51apk/видео.html :-)
