More than 90 masterpieces from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen on display at Rijksmuseum

Rotterdam ’s Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is closed to the public for renovation and modernization, but more than ninety works from its collection can be seen on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

In fact, thePhilips Wing of the Rijksmuseum will host the exhibition The Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum at the Rijksmuseum from September 29, 2023 to January 14, 2024. Among the masterpieces that will be temporarily transferred from The Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum are Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s The Tower of Babel and Hieronymus Bosch’s The Peddler, Vincent van Gogh’s Portrait of Armand Roulin, and Edgar Degas’s Little Dancer of Fourteen. There will also be works by Rubens, Picasso, Cindy Sherman, Piet Mondrian, Salvador Dalí, and Bruce Nauman, and outside the museum will be Ugo Rondinone’s light sculpture Breathe, Walk, Die, while the atrium will feature a sculpture by Donald Judd.

Also on display for the first time at the Rijksmuseum since the Boijmans Museum has closed will be Yayoi Kusama’s immersive installation Infinity Room - Phalli’s Field (Floor Show). The work, which has rarely been exhibited in the past, has been carefully cleaned up by a team of conservators in recent months.
