About

The only museum for film and the art of moving images in the Netherlands. An iconic building with spectacular spaces, in the heart of the film world.

Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam is a guardian, pioneer, and guide in the world of film and the art of moving images. Eye manages over 54,000 films of all genres: from classics, blockbusters, and early avant-garde films to the very latest VR experiments. Eye's gaze is on the past and stays up-to-date with new acquisitions, programs, and debates.

In the iconic museum building by the IJ River, there is a permanent exhibition, along with three annual rotating exhibitions in the large exhibition space. You'll also find a shop and a bar-restaurant. In the four cinemas, important and special films are screened daily.

For young and old, film enthusiasts and professionals alike, Eye sheds light on film as art, culture, entertainment, and a part of contemporary visual culture, always from a changing perspective.

For your event, you have a choice of various unique spaces. There are four cinemas of different sizes, each with its own style and top-quality audiovisual equipment. Additionally, there are four versatile spaces with ample natural light and impressive views. Two spacious foyers are available for catering moments. The spaces are available for rent for conferences, symposia, meetings, lectures, presentations, dinners, receptions, workshops, and film screenings, among other events. Eye is not just a typical event venue. Eye encourages you to see differently. To let your guests see differently. See films. See the world. See your event.
