MVRDV

Located in Rotterdam's Museumpark, the depot features a new type of experience for museum visitors. A 39.5-metre-high building 'in the round', the depot's bowllike form has a relatively small footprint. The building's eyecatcher is the atrium with crisscrossing staircases and suspended glass display cases showing exhibitions of works selected by museum curators. This atrium will lead visitors to exhibition rooms and curators' studios, offering them a unique behind-the-scenes experience and the chance to learn how a world-renowned museum maintains and cares for its art collection. Art is displayed throughout the building, beginning in the ground floor lobby and continuing along the entire route through the building, extending even to the rooftop restaurant. Outside this restaurant, a rooftop forest at a height of 35 metres will provide another public attraction, accessible via an express elevator from the ground floor, and populated by 75 multi-stemmed birch trees standing several metres tall. The rooftop offers visitors breath-taking vistas across the city of Rotterdam.

位於鹿特丹博物館公園（Museumpark）的倉庫由MVRDV設計，為博物館參觀者提供了一種全新的體驗。這棟高39.5公尺的倉庫“呈圓型”（in the round）呈碗狀，佔地面積較小。這棟建築最吸睛的是中庭，那裡有縱橫交錯的樓梯和懸掛式玻璃陳列櫃，櫃中陳列著博物館策展人精選的作品。這個中庭可引導參觀者進入展覽室和策展人工作室，為他們提供獨特的幕後體驗，藉此了解世界知名博物館如何維護和保養藝術收藏。從地面層大廳開始，沿著穿越整棟建築的路徑，一直到屋頂餐廳，整棟建築都展示著藝術品。在這間餐廳的外面，一片位於35公尺高空的屋頂森林也成為另一個公共景點。遊客可從地面層搭乘特快電梯直達屋頂，欣賞這裡75棵枝椏茂密、高達數公尺的白樺樹，並將整個鹿特丹市絕美的景色盡收眼底。
