Just a few minutes away from Centraal Station by ferry sits the Eye Museum. The building is a little bit fabulous. Dynamic, innovative, dramatic yet sleek, with textured facades and enormous windows opening the interior up to views of the river and city.
It was designed by Austrian architectural firm Delugan Meissl, which specialise in buildings that appear to be in motion. The perfect fit for a film museum! It holds 4 screening rooms that showcase a wide variety of films; from old classics to new release arthouse. There is a 1200m2 exhibtion space with 4 changing exhibtions every year, a large terrace with fabulous views, and a bar and restaurant which is open daily.
It's definitely worth a visit. I went yesterday. It was a beautiful summer day, and people were enjoying the restaurant and the surrounding parklands. Some enjoying the shade of the trees and others sunning themselves on blankets by the river. A great picnic place. I lay under a tree admiring the architecture and snacking on a delicious vegan salad of quinoa, snap pea, carrot, pumpkin seed and almond. Lovely!
