Eye Filmmuseum is the only museum for film and the art of the moving image in the Netherlands. The Eye collection contains more than 50,000 Dutch and international films, and a wide variety of posters, photographs, film equipment, books and personal archives, among them the celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Collection of film pioneer Jean Desmet. Eye preserves, restores and presents films of all sorts — from classics, blockbusters and early avant-garde works to the very latest experiments in virtual reality. At its iconic building overlooking the IJ, Eye organises exhibitions at the intersection of film and art, and film programmes that illuminate everything from the early days of film history to recent developments in society. The film museum presents film in all its diversity and promotes Dutch cinema and film culture at home and abroad. Eye also stimulates a better understanding and love of film through learning programmes organised in collaboration with the education sector and the film industry.
