EYE Film Institute Netherlands

Located at the IJ Harbour, the spectacular contemporary home of the EYE Film Institute is an awe-inspiring vision; an embodiment of the interplay between space, light, and movement that characterizes film as an art form. The museum is dedicated to the celebration of the Dutch cinematic culture and its preservation through the maintenance of an archive. That doesn't mean it's all about Dutch films here; foreign films, too, are given their due. The ever-changing exhibitions are dedicated to showcasing the work of different filmmakers through posters, photographs, and books alongside film screenings. The collection is extensive, spanning the history of the Dutch film industry from its beginnings in 1895 to the latest productions, illustrating the vibrant world of motion pictures. The building also features various spaces for private events, four cinema halls, a museum shop, and a restaurant and bar.
