When you are at the Central Station in Amsterdam, you just have to take the ferry to the other side and then take a short walk to the Eye Filmmuseum. The museum is designed by the Austrian architects Roman and Elke Delugan. At the beginning of 2012 the museum was opened to the public.

Filmrooms

The museum has 4 fully modern equipped cinemas with a wide range of films. These can be the old classics to modern films, something for everyone.

Museum Pieces

In addition to watching films in the cinemas, there are also many museum pieces in the museum. There are cameras from all times. The showpiece of the museum is the Mitchell, a 35mm camera which most of the famous films from Hollywood have been recorded with. Furthermore, there are many more film related objects to admire.

Of course, it is also nice to see the recordings made with these museum pieces mentioned above. You can do this in the 360 degree hall. You can see fragments from the past all around you that were made with the cameras you can view in the museum.
