11 Abandoned Theaters and Opera Houses Frozen in Time

8. Theater Tuschinski – Amsterdam (Stage Left Wing), Netherlands

While the main auditorium of Amsterdam’s Tuschinski Theater continues to screen films in opulent Art Deco style, one section — the original Stage Left Wing — has remained sealed off since the 1980s. Hidden behind heavy velvet drapes and security doors, this part of the theater has been largely untouched, featuring faded murals, broken velvet chairs, and forgotten dressing rooms. It’s a strange juxtaposition: a thriving cinema with a ghost wing quietly deteriorating in the shadows.
