Another Great Museum in Rotterdam!

So, in my quest to find as much art and culture as possible while traveling this summer, I thought that the Boijmans Museum in Rotterdam looks pretty damn awesome!  And it's so easy to go back and forth between Rotterdam and Amsterdam- less than an hour on the train AND you can bring your bike.  How great is that?  Why are we lacking great public transportation in Miami? 

Here's the museum site....



Roy Villevoye
Detours

Roy Villevoye, Preparations, 2007, 120x160cm

Films, photographic works, installations (including cooperations with Jan Dietvorst).
This exhibition of work by Roy Villevoye (1960, Maastricht) provides the first comprehensive view of his artistic practice since the late 1980s, when he turned away from painting and found inspiration in his travels beyond Europe.

Limited/Unlimited - One Hundred Years of Dutch Design

A fixed timeline is used to mirror traditional craftsmanship and industrial design, thus showing one of the characteristics of Dutch design: the co-existence of unique objects and serial production.

Presentation of 400 masterpieces of the museum’s collections. The rich Rotterdam collection, from the 16th up to the 21 century, can then be admired in all its glory, in counterpoint with the architecture of the 1936 museum building by city architect Van der Steur. The Collection One has its own access through the original entrance in the bottom of the tower.
