Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is the main art museum in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Its collection ranges from medieval European art to modern art. The foundation to the collection was laid when the collector Frans Jacob Otto Boymans (1767-1847) gave his collection to the city of Rotterdam in 1841. In 1958 the collection of Daniël George van Beuningen (1877-1955) was added and the museum became the name Museum Boijmans van Beuningen.
