Build with us

Imagine being part of a new experience and a new icon for the city. With your support, we can make the Boijmans Van Beuningen Depot into much more than an amazing building that houses a fantastic collection. Much more.

We have fantastic plans to make the interior of the building just as spectacular as the mirrored exterior. These include a stunning entrance area, four restoration studios, a cinema and a roof terrace that is freely accessible to all.

Will you help us build?

Every contribution is crucial for the realisation of this extraordinary project. You can make a one-off donation, purchase the Boijmans Van Beuningen Depot puzzle or adopt one of the depot’s mirrored panels.

Make a one-off donation without obligation

Contribute a piece of the puzzle

Become the proud owner of the original Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen Depot puzzle. Now available with 1000 pieces. Ready to be ‘built’! You will literally be helping us to build because 70% of the purchase price goes towards the realisation of the depot. The puzzle comes with six postcards of treasures from the collection: a foretaste of what you’ll soon be able to see in the depot.

Join us in co-creating the future

With your support, Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen will be much more than an iconic building that stores wonderful collections. We can make it a transformative experience – a mirror to our souls.

Become a Founding Pioneer

During this exciting period of creating the first-ever public depot, you have the opportunity for your campaign support to be memorialized in a lasting way. Donors who pledge $50,000 or more will be honored as Founding Pioneers, with long-term recognition in a special area of the lobby.

Name a Space in Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen

The depot facility boasts high-visibility, high-use spaces that bring unique opportunities for long-term donor recognition through naming. Capital naming opportunities begin at $75,000.

Make an Endowed Gift

Endowed funds are among the most lasting contributions, as they create a meaningful annual income stream that benefits our institution in perpetuity. You can choose to designate your fund for a specific purpose, such as collection care, education or art purchases, as agreed between you and the museum.

If you don’t live in the NL, but wish to give to the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen and save you taxes, you might be able to do so. If you are a corporation or foundation, you might want to directly give to the Museum in the Netherlands. We are here to help you!
