The Amsterdam Film Museum or, to be more precise, the EYE Film Institute, was formed as a result of the merger of several institutions associated with the film industry.
The forerunner of the museum was the Dutch Historical Film Archive founded in 1946. In 1952, it was re-registered as the Museum of Cinema. Since 1972, the museum has been located in Vondelpark, and since 2012 it has moved to a new building on the banks of the River IJ. The total area of the building is 6.3 thousand square meters. m, it was built according to the project of the Viennese design bureau Delugan Meissel Associated. It was they who designed the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. And they say that the architecture of both buildings is very similar (it's hard to compare, because I haven't been to Stuttgart). ; )
The Cinema Museum has 46.0 thousand films, including 7.0 million meters of film recorded in the first half of the 20th century, more than 35.0 thousand posters and almost half a million photographs.
The archives of the museum contain a huge collection of films, through which you can trace the entire history of world and Dutch cinema, from the very first films of the 19th century to the most modern novelties of computer graphics special effects in recent years. The earliest records date back to the beginning of film production in Holland in 1895.
Another interesting collection is a collection of film equipment, which presents various exhibits: from the cinematograph of the Lumiere brothers to the most modern digital equipment that allows you to play films without using film.
On the second floor there are 4 cinema halls where visitors can get acquainted with various films from an extensive collection.
I won’t say that this museum is such a must see for the first visit to Amsterdam (unless, of course, you are a passionate cinema lover), but if you don’t know what to do in this diverse city on your Nth visit, you will have extra 10 euros, it is quite possible to have fun (detailed info here www. eyefilm. nl/)
