Depot - Reflecting Boijmans plot

While Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen had to close in 2019 due to large-scale renovation, a whole new building was created nearby that would open its doors to the public: the Depot – a shared dream of architect Winy Maas and Boijmans director Sjarel Ex. This documentary not only takes the viewer into the creation of the world's first fully publicly accessible depot, but also draws beautiful parallels with the construction of the current museum building in the 1930s on the basis of archive material from Bouw Museum Boymans. guide the viewer through both the stripped-down museum and the brand-new depot and share their enthusiastic view of the past and present.

The Museum Boijmans van Beuning in Rotterdam, which opened in 1935, is in need of a thorough renovation. Museum director Sjarel Ex and architect/designer Winy Maas try to make a virtue of necessity. They are joining forces to create a depot next to the original building in which all works of art (and there are more than 151,000 of them) are accessible to the public. The title refers to the fact that the facade of the new building consists of large, convex mirrors. If Joe appreciates the humor of this pun, then you might also chuckle at the sung opening credits, even if it doesn't make any sense. It seems to be a diversion by Dolz, who may have realized at a late moment that her documentary was very conventional and therefore inevitably a bit boring. The minimal cross-section of the relevant works of art at the end nevertheless definitely invites you to visit this 'depot' in the short term.
