You're standing in Rotterdam's Museumpark, in front of what looks like a giant mirrored bowl. This is Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, which locals simply call The Pot. Have a look at the outside. It's completely covered in mirrored glass, more than sixteen hundred panels. You'll see the city, the trees and yourself reflected back, a little smaller. The building is almost forty metres tall and sixty metres across.
