Is Eye Filmmuseum worth it on a budget?
Worth itOn a budget
Eye Filmmuseum earns the spend, even on a tight budget.
Building free; exhibitions ~€13–16
Worth the free ferry alone — the building is a stunner, the basement film exhibitions are playful and hands-on, and the café terrace has a great city-skyline view. The catch: the rotating exhibitions are hit-or-miss and ticketed separately, so unless a show grabs you it can be a quick architecture-and-coffee visit.
