Depot Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen
Depot Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen

Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen (initially called 'het Collectiegebouw' (Collection Building), popularly called 'The Pot') is an art depot of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. It is the first publicly accessible art depot in the world. It is a 39.5 meter high, bowl-shaped building that is covered with reflective plates, so that a more or less contiguous, reduced mirror image of the environment can be seen, whereby one can look over the surrounding buildings. To guarantee the privacy of patients of the adjacent Erasmus MC, a number of plates have been made matt on that side. Some rooms where daylight is needed are also fitted with normal glass. An aluminum-coloured IKEA bowl served as inspiration for the shape of the building. The 'Blanda Blank', a slightly shiny serving dish made of stainless steel for 3.99 euros, happened to be on the table as a sugar bowl during preliminary discussions about the design for the building. The first pile went into the ground on March 17, 2017. The building has seven floors. On the roof is a restaurant with 120 seats. The building contains 1 664 mirror panels with a combined surface of 6 609 m². In addition, there are four restoration studios. Inside, part of the collection is displayed in thirteen display cases. In October 2021, the costs for the building were estimated at over ninety million euros. On November 5, 2015, the Rotterdam city council approved the change to the zoning plan in the Museum Park, allowing the plans for a special art depot to be realised. There used to be 255 Acacias trees on the site of the building. According to some experts, they were in a bad condition and could only survive if they were moved to the municipal tree depot. Others disagreed with that view, saying that the new building is destroying the park.Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen was designed by the Dutch architectural firm MVRDV. The entire deposit collection of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (more than 151,000 objects housed together, arranged in fourteen storage compartments with five different climates) is stored here and is publicly accessible, on a total floor area of 15,541 m². Financially, the realization was made possible in part by the 'De Verre Bergen foundation' with a donation of €17 million and a loan of approximately €35 million during the construction phase. The intention is that the exploitation will be paid for from entrance fees and from income from the rental of depot space to private art collectors; 15 percent of the floor space intended for art is reserved for this purpose.

Erasmus MC Sophia
Erasmus MC Sophia

The Erasmus MC Sophia, earlier called 'Sophia Kinderziekenhuis' is a former independent hospital in Rotterdam. The Children's hospital, named after Queen Sophia, is the oldest children's hospital in the Netherlands. It was built in 1863 on the present-day Hoogstraat ("High Street"), on the site of the current Beurstraverse ("Stock Exchange Traverse"). The two wards with room for eight people were located on the first floor above a furniture store. In 1866 the hospital moved to the 'villa Belvedere', bought by the municipality of Rotterdam at Dirk Smitsstraat 4. After a visit in 1869 by Queen Sophia, who considered the facility down to the smallest detail the board offered to link Her Majesty's name to the Children's Hospital, after which the name Sophia Kinderziekenhuis (Sophia Children's Hospital) was displayed on the facade from 1870 onwards. In 1876, the construction of a new children's hospital on Westersingel was started. The hospital was located here from its opening in 1878 to 1937. After a merger in 1934 with the 'Zuigelingen Vereniging Rotterdam' (Infant Society Rotterdam), a new children's hospital was built in 1935 at the Gordelweg in the Rotterdam district Bergpolder. The institution was located there for 60 years. In 1994 the Sophia moved to a new building in the district Dijkzigt. Since the merger with several other Rotterdam hospitals at the beginning of the 21st century, it has been part of the Erasmus MC. As an academic hospital, in addition to direct diagnosis and treatment of patients, it also pays attention to scientific research. For example, in 1983 it started large-scale and long-term behavioral development research. That is also why Erasmus MC Sophia mainly receives children with complex or rare disorders. In addition to physical care, children can also receive psychological support and guidance in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology department. There are four profile areas in which highly complex care is offered from a broad multidisciplinary approach: Pediatric thorax center Children's brain center Mother and Child Center Center for Rare DisordersErasmus MC Sophia has its own TV studio, where 'Sophia TV' is made. This means twice a week live broadcasts are made for and by patients. Parents and their children can request a guest room in the Ronald McDonald House Sophia Rotterdam. In 2013, the 150th anniversary was celebrated. On May 22 Queen Máxima unveiled 'Sophietje', the mascot of the children's hospital. On 10 September 2015, Ollimania and its creators Hein Mevissen and Diederiekje Bok donated a huge Olli statue to the Sophia Children's hospital.
