The exhibition MVRDVHNI The Living Archive of a Studio is based on the extensive physical and digital archive of architecture firm MVRDV, and it opens at the same time as the Open Depot of Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, a building by MVRDV. With an open set-up, the depot opts for a new approach to managing, opening up and exhibiting. Inspired by the Open Depot, the MVRDVHNI exhibition shows the MVRDV archive as a living entity that inhabits office spaces, rather than a museum.

As a working environment, the office is the place where ideas and projects move fluidly between present, past and future.

Together with MVRDV, new instruments are being developed for the exhibition to unlock, organise and present the predominantly digital archive in alternative ways.
