Pathé Tuschinski Theater Tours
A restored 1920s movie palace, the Pathé Tuschinski Theater in Amsterdam is an opulent place to catch the latest flick. Visitors come to experience its sumptuous period interiors and to watch a blockbuster movie or independent film. It’s centrally located on the city’s famous Rembrandtplein square.
The Basics
The Tuschinski Theater was commissioned in 1921 by Abraham Icek Tuschinski. Architect Hijman Louis de Jong designed the interior and exterior in a mix of Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. The outside with Gaudi-esque reptile-like pointed buttresses and stained glass panels resembles a mythical fortress, while the interiors are meant to mimic a gilded painting. Richly patterned carpets, globe lights, and elaborate murals have been painstakingly restored to match the original designs.
A glamorous relic of the days when going to the movies was a “best-dressed” event, the theater shows the latest movies daily, ranging from arthouse films to big-ticket movies. It has 19 cinema screens and room for more than 4,000 moviegoers. Many of the screens are housed in a newer building connected to the original.
