Pathé Tuschinski Cinema, Art Deco cinema on Reguliersbreestraat, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Pathé Tuschinski Cinema is a movie theater on Reguliersbreestraat that blends Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Amsterdam School architectural styles, crowned by fine ceramic work on its western facade. The complex houses six screening rooms with a combined capacity of 1431 seats and modern projection and sound equipment.
Abraham Tuschinski, a Polish immigrant, built this cinema as an ambitious project and opened it on October 28, 1921. The building was later modernized several times and received royal recognition from King Willem-Alexander in 2021.
The main auditorium displays ornate decorations and stained glass windows, while a restored film organ comes to life during special silent movie screenings. These elements shape the viewing experience and show how the cinema honors its artistic past.
The cinema sits centrally on Reguliersbreestraat and is easily reached on foot, with clear signage for all screening rooms. Visitors should arrive early, especially on weekends, to secure good seats and get oriented within the building.
Hidden inside is a rare film organ that accompanied silent movies with live music and still sounds during special events. This historical instrument embodies how such films were originally experienced.
