ADFF: CHICAGO screening of DEPOT – Reflecting Boijmans


DEPOT is a happy story of visionary minds. As a major renovation forced Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen to shut its doors to the public in 2019, an entirely new building was about to open just across the road. The Depot is a shared dream of architect Winy Maas, a founding partner of MVRDV, and Sjarel Ex, the Boijmans Museum executive director. This film tells the story of the creation of the world’s first museum depot that was entirely open to visitors. Using a mixture of archival footage from Boijmans and the recent construction of Depot, director Sonia Herman Dolz draws apt parallels with the construction of the current museum building in the 1930s.
