DEPOT – Reflecting Boijmans

2023 / 83 min / Netherlands

Dir: Sonia Herman Dolz

A happy story of visionary minds. DEPOT explores the making of the world’s first museum depot entirely open to visitors– a shared vision of architect Winy Maas, a founding partner of MVRDV, and Sjarel Ex, the Boijmans Museum executive director. Using a mixture of archival footage from Boijmans and the recent construction of Depot, director Sonia Herman Dolz draws apt parallels between the two.
