Grand Theatre, Cultural center and movie theater in Groningen, Netherlands.

The Grand Theatre combines Art Deco architecture with Amsterdam School elements, featuring a notable facade with geometric patterns and decorative details.

British architect Harold Gilbert Saville designed this building in 1929, which operated as the fourth major cinema in Groningen until 1977.

The venue presents experimental performances, poetry readings, children's shows, and musical concerts through partnerships with local and international artists.

Located in central Groningen at coordinates 53.21818, 6.56868, the theater maintains a lobby where guests can enjoy refreshments before performances.

After facing demolition plans and bankruptcy in 2015, the building transformed from an 800-seat cinema into a multipurpose cultural space.
