Hello,

Can you tell me which Bosch works you presently have on view?

Kindly,
Forrest
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

Dear Forrest, unfortunately the museum is closed due to renovation. You can visit the depot, where all works by Bosch in the collection are stored. A guided tour will bring you into the storage rooms. Next year an exhibition of the museum's highlights will open on the top floor of the Depot in which The Pedler and Christophorus will be shown. I hope this information is helpful. Kind regards, Els
