Eye: watching film and exploring the moving image

Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam-Noord combines film screenings with exhibitions. The cinemas, museum route and restaurant have different hours and need planning of their own.

What film can be

The permanent presentation focuses on the moving image. See how the displays explain techniques or viewing experiences, alongside the temporary exhibition, which may deal with a different film or art subject.

Choosing a screening

A film in a cinema is a separate part of the programme with its own ticket. Check the title, start time and available seats if you want to combine the exhibition with a screening.

The IJ in between

The venue is opposite Amsterdam Centraal and can be reached by ferry. Allow for the crossing, especially if you need to make a fixed film start or another booked time.

Before you go

Do not confuse box office or restaurant hours with exhibition admission. Outside school holidays, the exhibition is usually closed on Mondays; check exceptions separately.
