Frans Jacob Otto Boijmans


Frans Jacob Otto Boijmans was a Dutch art collector. He was born in Maastricht and died in Utrecht.
After long negotiations with the then-mayor of Rotterdam Bichon van IJsselmonde, which were only concluded eight days before Boijmans' death, he left his collection of paintings to the town. They were initially housed in the Schielandshuis, which reopened as the Museum Boijmans on 3 July 1849.
