Boijmans Depot tickets and visitor planning
Treat the Depot as a working collection store rather than a sequence of conventional galleries. Objects appear in storage arrangements, and the central atrium lets you look across several levels. Decide whether you want an independent visit or a guided element before choosing tickets. Access to particular spaces can vary, so check the current visitor information instead of assuming every storage area is open.

Is the Depot a conventional art museum?
Its focus is the storage and care of a collection. Expect storage arrangements and views across the building alongside displayed objects.
Can I enter every storage room?
Do not assume general admission opens every working space. Check the current program and guided visit details for specific access.
Should I book a guided visit separately?
Check the booking terms for your chosen visit. Tour availability, language and whether admission is included can affect which tickets you need.
Can I photograph the outside without a ticket?
