10 Best Museums in Amsterdam, From Quaint Canal Houses to Modern Graffiti Galleries | Condé Nast Traveler
"This eye-catching museum dedicated to film made a big splash when it opened in 2012— the first major public building to be constructed on the north bank of the River IJ—and a decade later, it’s still one of the area’s most popular attractions. The Eye’s striking aerodynamic shape—some have compared it to spaceship, or a praying mantis—makes it a big draw for architecture buffs, but cinephiles will have a field day, whether exploring its permanent and temporary film-related exhibits, or seeing a movie in one of its four theaters. Chantal Akerman, Martin Scorsese, William Kentridge: some of the biggest names in film and video have been highlighted in Eye’s temporary exhibitions. Film clips and shorts are often integrated with letters, photographs from sets, and other paraphernalia, and the accompanying film program showcases more of the directors’ work. The museum also has an extensive collection of movie posters (more than 55,000) and these are regularly rotated along the walls and corridors of the building" - Clodagh Kinsella, Jennifer Ceaser
