Filmmuseum

The Filmmuseum is Holland's museum for cinematography. The museum's collection of films covers the whole of the history of cinema from the very first silent films, dating from the late 19th century, up to the latest contemporary digital productions.

This internationally renowned collection, to which many Dutch and foreign titles are regularly added, is the source of inspiration for the museum's film programs, exhibitions and events. Every year, there are major thematic programs examining the history of film and contemporary cinematographic developments. In addition, the museum organizes open-air screenings, festivals, theatrical family shows and retrospectives.

The Filmmuseum houses the largest film library in the Netherlands. The museum also acts as distributor of classics and contemporary, independent films.

In 2010 the Filmmuseum will be occupying its new premises on the north shore of the river IJ in Amsterdam.
