Why go
The collection matters for the breadth of its dialogue between Dutch and European art, from Bosch, Bruegel and Rembrandt to Monet, Van Gogh, Magritte and Dalí. Its identity grew from the Boijmans bequest of 1847 and the Van Beuningen collection added in 1958. These holdings make it a useful lens on the sweep of European art in Rotterdam.
