Opened as the Bioscoop Tavenu in 1912 it had 240 seats. Located on a very narrow street off the centre of Amsterdam the entrance is also very narrow and a long coridor leads to the auditorium which is ‘olde world rustic’ and has hardly been altered since the day it opened.
In 1971 adjacent land was purchased and an additional 3 screens were added. Currently the seating is Movies 1;(the original auditorium) 177 seats, Movies 2;107 seats, Movies 3;60 seats and Movies 4;56 seats.
It is the oldest operating cinema in Amsterdam and is a real treat to visit, take a meal in the cinema restaurant and see a movie. Great!

View link is a review of this theater (in Dutch), containing a few photographs for those interested.
Had the pleasure of visiting this venue a couple times recently. Focusses mostly on the bigger arthouse titles (and “serious” Hollywood productions), and it’s only second to the Tuschinski for the most beautiful art-deco interior in town.
