Dutch style label Francon selected the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam as the venue for its latest assortment. A special constructing, designed by the MVRDV architectural studio, which serves as an archive for the museum of the same identify, but which can also be the primary of its type to be accessible to the general public. 

Many museums, especially international ones, can only present 6% to 7% of their collections in exhibitions. The remaining works are locked away, removed from sight in storage. This can be a tradition that the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum needed to break with the MVRDV competition. The design of the 39.5-meter-high, egg-shaped building makes all artifacts visible. A go to to the constructing can also be a chance to watch the processes of conservation and restoration, packaging, and transportation of the artworks. Surrounded by artwork, guests are led up by means of the atrium by 5 giant zigzag staircases, to the exhibition rooms and curatorial studios, but in addition to the roof. The atrium is crammed with thirteen glass show instances that show a “calmly organized” and ever-changing choice of the repository’s many treasures. Different artworks are packed, held on a rack, and displayed in a cabinet, however visitors can submit requests to see specific items.
