Museon-Omniversum - movies

Museon - Omniversum shows beautiful big-screen films every day on a giant dome screen, in the Dome. A spectacular experience! All films are Dutch spoken (can also be followed in English via earphones) and usually suitable for all ages, unless otherwise indicated. Each film, including the supporting programme, lasts about one hour. Below are the films programmed in the coming months.

In the evenings, Museon - Omniversum programmes a different genre of films in cooperation with Haags Filmhuis, namely arthouse, opera and documentaries. Museon - Omniversum shows the films with a 4K laser projector on a surface similar to a cinema screen, so not on the whole dome.

With parking spaces at the door and nearby Museon - Omniversum welcomes visitors in a safe and special environment.
