Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen’s print room houses a world-famous collection of circa 18,000 drawings and circa 69,000 prints. Because works on paper are very sensitive to light, they are exhibited only for short periods in changing displays.

The collection is considered one of the finest in the world. It features drawings by German, Dutch, French and Italian masters such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Rubens, Dürer and Rembrandt, and modern and contemporary artists from Degas and Cézanne to Yayoi Kusama.
