About Frans Jacob Otto Boijmans
- Frans Jacob Otto Boijmans (1 November 1767 – 19 June 1847) 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 had been bought by the town council in 1841), which reopened as the Museum Boijmans on 3 July 1849.
