Gather around cinephiles, as the M+ museum is opening a new cinema on June 8, 2022. Featuring three screening houses of various sizes, the M+ Cinema will have a series of feature films, documentaries, experimental cinema, video art, restored classics, and newly discovered or rarely seen films on show for the public. The screenings will also respond to the museum’s exhibitions, collections, as well as current social issues.

Furnished in purple, green, and blue – with fabrics by renowned Danish design company Kvadra – each screening house features seats by Italian furniture maker Poltrona Frau, along with state-of-the-art projection and sound systems so that the films can be screened as closely as possible to their original formats.
