Old news

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen was not born yesterday. It has existed for 160 years. In Old news, we let the museum relive its history.

And a remarkable film from the 1930s cropped up in the Rotterdam Municipal Archives: it documents the building of the museum, brick by brick. And thanks Open Images from the Dutch Institute for Picture and Sound (Beeld en Geluid), we can show fragments from Polygoon newsreels.
