Le Cosmos

Le Cosmos is a movie theater in Strasbourg housed in a protected 1914 building that accommodates 304 spectators in classically styled rooms. The venue combines its original architectural features with contemporary projection technology for modern screenings.

Architect Paul Horn designed the building, and it opened in 1914 with film screenings that reflected cinema's growing popularity at that time. The structure gained protected heritage status in 1990, recognizing its importance as an architectural and cultural landmark.

The cinema screens films from around the world in their original languages with subtitles, making international cinema accessible to local audiences. Visitors find a space dedicated to artistic films alongside mainstream productions.

The theater sits centrally in Strasbourg at the corner of Rue des Francs-Bourgeois and Rue des Sept-Hommes, near Place Kléber. This location offers convenient access to public transportation and is easily reachable on foot from the city center.

The interior preserves original details such as the vintage ticket booth design and classical vestibule that transport visitors into early 20th-century cinema culture. These retained features make each visit an experience that extends beyond simply watching a film.
