The Eye Filmmuseum opened its doors in 2012 at a new location on the northern IJ-over, in Amsterdam North. The striking building, designed by Austrian architectural duo Delugan Meissl, symbolises movement, light and perspective. With its sharp lines, sloping walls and large expanses of glass, the Eye is not only a tribute to cinema, but also to the city that never stands still.
At the Eye, you will discover the world of film. The museum manages more than 50,000 films - from early black-and-white classics to modern masterpieces. In the museum section, dive into the history of cinema with various interactive exhibitions, rare projectors and original costumes and posters.
Special films are shown daily in the four theatres. Think arthouse, classics, documentaries and international premieres. This makes it the perfect place for lovers of quality cinema. The museum is worth visiting for young and old alike. There are several interactive sections where you can experiment with image and sound yourself - from making stop-motion to adding sound effects to a scene.
The Eye Film Museum is known for its temporary exhibitions on groundbreaking directors, visual artists and the intersection between film and technology. Think installations, virtual reality and immersive light projections.
Seen it all and want to take a break? Then enjoy the view at the Eye Café-Restaurant. Here you have a beautiful panoramic view over the IJ and Amsterdam's city centre. This makes it the perfect place for a coffee, lunch or drinks after a film.
