Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen

Rotterdam has enough art around the street to keep me amused (I'm on a mission to get photos of all the quirky monuments/statues/random art around the city), and to top that off, it has great art museums. A museum is a great way to escape from the rainy weather that characterizes the Netherlands (my friend Dutch Marieke often calls it the "flat-froggy/toady country), and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is no exception. Current exhibitions are the "All eyes on Kees van Dongen" (huge exhibition, almost all of his paintings and a lot of info on his lifestyle), the Yayoi Kusama's Mirror room (which I LOVED!), the Collection H+F Fashion on the Edge, etc.

The museum is not expensive at all (15 euros full rate, 10 euros for students, free on Wednesdays). Part of it is being refurbished (as I said, everytime I come to Europe, SOMETHING is being refurbished) so some areas are closed. You can still see the section of the surrealists and the impressionists, which were the ones I was interested in the most. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the Warholes. The patio is beautiful, so whenever it's not rainy, I do recommend going out and having your lunch/snack there.

You are allowed to take photos without flash. Here are some of the one's I took.
