A reflection bowl in Rotterdam
Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen the name
A place nice for photo, from far you can see it as giant bowl or cup with mirror alike glass. It reflected the clear and nice sky in Rotterdam. Many people snaps there, the building as the object, or background or the reflection for selfie and wefie. It is literally something that mesmerised me the most in Rotterdam!
It is a museum in fact but I didn’t go in because I only attracted by the outside. Walking further with some park and other museum as well.

Netherlands Travel｜Rotterdam Future World Museum
We continue with Rotterdam's quirky buildings🏘️
This time it's the Future World Museum Depot, officially named Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen.
✅ This is a super special art depot in Rotterdam. It's not an ordinary museum; it's the world's first publicly accessible art depot.
✅ The design of this depot is super avant-garde, with an exterior made of 1,664 mirrored glass panels. It looks like a giant silver pot, super shiny, and very prominent in Rotterdam's city skyline.
✅ Function and Collection: Depot is not just a place to display artworks; it also plays a crucial role in preserving, restoring, and transporting artworks. It houses over 152,000 art treasures, covering various styles and periods, making it a true art treasure trove.
✅ Visiting Depot is definitely a brand-new art experience. You can see the restoration process of artworks firsthand and even put on work clothes to experience the curator's job yourself. Moreover, there is a rooftop garden with 75 birch trees, which is super beautiful.
📍 Located in the city center of Rotterdam, about a twenty-minute walk from the Cube Houses.

The World Slowly Wanders｜The Mad City of Rotterdam Plays with Architecture
A rare member of modern architecture in Europe~🤩
I call it the Mad City!! So ahead of its time.
It is also the 'Gateway to Europe'. This time I finally reserved time to check it out.
I dare say architecture enthusiasts will definitely love Rotterdam.
The whole city feels very modern and magical.
This port city has gone crazy with architectural design!!!
When you come to Amsterdam, I suggest you leave a day to visit here✅
🚄Transportation: Both Amsterdam and Rotterdam have several train stations. Use Google Maps to navigate to your destination and follow the route. The journey takes about 1 hour. Buy train tickets from NS and bus tickets from FlixBus.
☑️Five main check-in points in Rotterdam
🔹Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen
🔹Pencil Tower
🔹Cube Houses
🔹Markthal
🔹Witte de Withstraat
I personally think the St. Lawrence Church is average. The ticket is 4€, you can skip it.
If you are short on time, spend half a day each in Rotterdam and The Hague. The journey between the two is 30 minutes.
Or, like me, you can slowly wander around Rotterdam for a day, which is also very enjoyable.
FiveFiveFive Cafe is a random pick from Google, a gathering place for cyclists.
Pho Hanoi is a cost-effective Vietnamese restaurant with decent taste.
Tips: I suggest getting off at Blaak station by train. The main check-in points are right outside.

Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen
Located in Rotterdam's Museumpark, this museum has a unique appearance resembling a giant mirrored flowerpot. It is an annex to the adjacent Heumans Museum, but its main function is as a laboratory for the conservation and restoration of the vast collection housed by Heumans. This means that you can appreciate a variety of artworks from all sides. For paintings, you can even see notes and messages written on the canvas and on the back of the frames. You can also see the restoration work being done through a large pane of glass, giving you a sense of the background that supports the art. If you book a tour, you will be given a white coat just like the staff and will receive a detailed explanation.
