Rembrandt Theater

Rembrandt Theater is a cinema in Arnhem with five adjustable screening rooms and three foyers positioned centrally to offer views across the city. The spaces can accommodate between 50 and 1500 visitors and are configured flexibly for different types of events and gatherings.

The building was constructed in 1954 during post-war reconstruction, replacing its predecessor on Steenstraat that was destroyed in the Battle of Arnhem. This reopening marked the city's return to cultural activity after years of destruction.

The venue served as home to Filmweek Arnhem from 1955 to 1983, the Netherlands' first film festival, where audiences experienced premieres and international cinema in a cultural gathering place.

The venue is easily reached from its central location in Arnhem and offers views worth exploring between screenings or events. The varying room sizes mean visitors can attend different programs happening simultaneously or adjust their visit based on what is available.

The grand staircase installed in 1955 is covered in red velvet with illuminated edges that change colors, creating a distinctive visual passage to the screening rooms. This unique design element gives the entrance area a special character that sets it apart from typical theater spaces.
