EYE - DUTCH FILM LIBRARY
Dutch film library symbol of a new era, carrying the idea of openness and total spectacle, open to the world
Eye, the Dutch film library, is housed in a building that has become an instant classic in the space of a decade, marking a new era for this once-neglected waterfront. The building, a true work of architecture designed by the Viennese firm Delugan-Meissl, resembles a spaceship with bold shapes and varied perspectives.
The building features four cinemas, each with a unique theme and décor, as well as an exhibition hall of over 1,200 square metres, where four temporary exhibitions are held each year. A bookshop completes the offer, making Eye a cinémathèque of a new kind, combining openness, total spectacle and a transgenerational dimension.
In the basement, you can discover futuristic pods for viewing films or experience a "mobile thrill" by projecting a film from your laptop. Upstairs, we highly recommend a coffee in the foyer, with its breathtaking view over the water. The interior, with its steps leading up to the café-restaurant, is transformed into a dynamic forum, while the exterior boasts a magnificent terrace, offering a breathtaking view of Amsterdam when the weather is fine.
Eye houses a rich collection of 46,000 films, 500,000 photos, 41,500 posters, scripts and archives. The museum regularly organizes festivals and themed events, and has become a monumental landmark in the city.

Architecture remarquable. Plusieurs salles et des expositions permanentes. Programmation éclectique. Un restaurant monumental et moderniste où se côtoient toutes les classes sociales d'Amsterdam. Nombreuses manifestations culturelles et sociales. Récemment le Dalaï Lama
Belle programmation de films, pas uniquement hollandais, en décembre, il y avait un festival Antonioni.
Le salon de thé -restaurant est très agréable avec sa grande baie vitrée offrant une jolie vue sur la ville.
L'exposition permanente sur l'histoire du cinéma est intéresante et ludique avec plein de jeux et d'animations qui ravissent les enfants.
