Rotterdam, Netherlands

Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen

The first art storage building in the world you can walk into — and see everything.

While the museum itself is being renovated, the mirrored bowl next door shows the entire collection in storage: 151,000 works behind glass, arranged by climate rather than art history. The rooftop forest and restaurant look out over Rotterdam.
