You might be asking yourself exactly what a "Boijmans" is, right? Well, the "j" in Dutch is really a "y," so that means it's pronounced "BOY-mans." That's not exactly helping you either though, so you should know that it's the major museum in Rotterdam that's dedicated to the visual arts from past to present. On view is a virtual cornucopia of works by artists ranging from the Dutch Masters (and no, not the cigar), through the Surrealists, up to contemporary works of various forms. You'll get a feast of visual delights from Vincent Van Gogh, Rembrandt van Rijn, Rene Magritte, and there's even a surprise visit by Maurizio Cattelan in one of the galleries. Check out the images below to see what I saw. We had lunch in their architecturally stunning cafeteria and while pricey, it was actually quite delicious!
