Audio Guide of Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum

The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is currently undergoing renovation, so the permanent collection is not on display, but you can visit the temporary exhibition and the Boijmans Van Beuningen Depot. I recommend checking the official website to book your ticket in advance at www.boijmans.nl.

Adult tickets cost €17.50, while students pay €9. You can buy tickets directly on the official website or at the ticket desk, subject to availability. If you have the Dutch Museumkaart, admission is free, but you still need to reserve your visit online.

To see the current temporary exhibitions and the Depot, you will need at least 1.5 to 2 hours. If you are a true art lover and plan to enjoy all the facilities, I recommend setting aside a full 3 hours. The Depot alone deserves at least 45 minutes of your time.

This museum is one of the oldest and most prestigious in the Netherlands, founded in 1849, and it houses a collection of more than 150,000 masterpieces ranging from the Middle Ages to contemporary art. Its Depot is the first building of its kind in the world open to the public, an architectural landmark that houses works that would normally remain in storage.

Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are the quietest times to enjoy the exhibitions without crowds. If you prefer to visit in the low season to avoid larger crowds, January and February are ideal. The museum also organizes Friday evening openings, which are very popular.

Yes, both the museum and the Depot are fully accessible, with step-free access and elevators. The museum offers free wheelchairs at the entrance and accessible restrooms in both facilities. For any specific needs, you can contact customer service at +31 (0)10 441 9400.

It is located in the Museumpark, surrounded by attractions such as the Kunsthal and the contemporary art museum. Just a 10-minute walk away, you will find the iconic library and the famous Cube Houses. The area is perfect for a full day of culture in Rotterdam.

Always book your ticket online to secure your spot, especially on weekends. Download the museum’s official app to access free audio guides and interactive maps. If you are coming by public transport, the 'Eendrachtsplein' metro stop is only a 3-minute walk from the museum.
