Visit Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen and Kunsthal Rotterdam
If you are staying at Maurits Apartments and looking for something inspiring to do, Museumpark is just a short walk away. Here, you will find two of Rotterdam’s most distinctive cultural attractions: Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen and Kunsthal Rotterdam.
Together, they offer a wonderful introduction to Rotterdam’s creative side, combining art, architecture and a unique atmosphere in the heart of the city.
Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen
The Depot is impossible to miss. Its striking mirrored exterior has become one of Rotterdam’s most recognisable buildings and is a destination in itself.
Inside, the experience is unlike that of a traditional museum. The Depot gives visitors a behind-the-scenes look at how an extensive art collection is stored, preserved and restored. You can see artworks from different periods and discover paintings, sculptures, design objects and much more.
One of the highlights is the rooftop, where you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view across Rotterdam. It is a wonderful place to pause and take in the city from above.
The Depot is only around a ten-minute walk from Maurits Apartments, making it an easy addition to your day.
Kunsthal Rotterdam
Just a few minutes from the Depot is Kunsthal Rotterdam, housed in an impressive building designed by renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas.The Kunsthal is known for its changing programme of exhibitions. Rather than having one permanent collection, it presents a wide variety of exhibitions throughout the year, covering everything from contemporary art and photography to fashion, design and cultural history.This makes the Kunsthal an interesting place to visit even if you have been to Rotterdam before. There is always the possibility of discovering something completely new.
A perfect afternoon in Museumpark
The best part is that you can easily combine both destinations in one afternoon. Start at the Depot, enjoy the art and rooftop views, and then continue to the Kunsthal for one of its exhibitions.Afterwards, take a relaxed walk through Museumpark or continue towards the city centre for a coffee, lunch or dinner.
For guests staying at Maurits Apartments, Museumpark is practically on your doorstep. It is a simple and enjoyable way to experience Rotterdam’s art, architecture and creative character without having to travel far.
Art, architecture and inspiration — all just a short walk from Maurits Apartments.
