The building is lovely, partly winding around a kind of garden atrium. The regular collection comprises paintings by many international 20th century painters, and the design section is definitely worth visiting. More

The Boijmans museum is the biggest art museum in Rotterdam, it have a large collection from modern Masters to the present day artists. If you only come for the old masters then you will disappointed as other museum have a larger collection, but if you love all types of paintings then it have enough that is worth seeing. More

Art for every one. From 1500 until this time. Nice video art from Marijke Warmenhoven. More

Not the best art gallery we've seen. At least they admit it's largely full of artists who 'didn't quite make it'. Good modern collection. Probably leave off you're list unless doing big gallery tour of Europe. Saving grace was the coat rack - very clever! More

The Boijmans museum is located a bit away from the real center (next to the huge Erasmus Medical center and close to the Euromast tower), it is a nice museum which displays both modern and old historic Art!... there are some old masters, but don't expect that it is filled with them... many people seem to forget that during the...

If you're a tourist and you've just come from Amsterdam or Paris you are probably getting used to having to line-up to see great works of art (or line-up just to get in and see them). Well Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is full of European masterpieces: Monet, Pissaro, Van Gogh, Cezanne and others -- but, incredibly, there's none of those... More

If you go to Rotterdam DO NOT leave before you visit the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. This museum was a highlight of my trip, absolutely brilliant. They have a beautiful collection of art, Rembrandt, Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, Salvator Dali and much, much more. I enjoyed this Museum more than the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. It wasn't crowded at all and the... More

The early- to mid-20th century exhibit, with a spaceship-shaped 1960s house of the future is entertaining and worthwhile. However, the rest of the museum is a badly organised mish-mash of mediocre art and sculptures post-1970. More

I was so disappointed with this place. Starting with the opening time of 11am - do the staff have problems getting out of their beds or are they not aware that a morning exists? In addition no seats or sheltered area in which to wait if you arrive before the place finally opens. By the way it shuts at 5pm.... More
