AMSTERDAM | On the harbor directly across from Centraal Station, a symbol of Amsterdam’s next cultural evolution is rising from the ground — and, by sometime in 2011, cinephiles in the city will be rejoicing.
The organizers behind Filmmuseum, an Amsterdam institution that has been an important agent in screening and preserving old movies, broke ground in September on a site they hope will widen the museum’s audience and appeal.
The museum’s current location, within the Vondelpark, close to the Museum District, has its limitations. The new harborside building, say the museum’s spokespeople, will help the museum move beyond its core vision — serving as a tool to educate movie geeks. The new space will offer state-of-the-art, modern viewing spaces; the organizers hope to draw more than 200,000 visitors per year to the new building. http://globespotters.blogs.nytimes.com/
