Fabrique des Lumières Immersive Art Exhibition Tickets Amsterdam

Fabrique des Lumières, an immersive art centre in Amsterdam

Fabrique des Lumières is a large converted industrial space where dozens of projectors cover every surface with moving images. Instead of looking at a painting on a wall, you step inside it: brushstrokes become waves of colour that flow across the floor and climb the columns. If you are looking for Fabrique des Lumières Amsterdam tickets, this timed-entry ticket is the way to enter the show.

The experience is designed for everyone, whether or not you know art history. There are no guides or panels to read; you simply walk around, find a comfortable spot and let the music and images do the work. Plan on about an hour.

The Renaissance masters programme

The exhibition programme changes over the year and is shown in the booking panel for your date. A recent programme takes visitors to Renaissance Italy, with works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo: the Mona Lisa, The School of Athens, the statue of David and the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel.

Seeing such famous images at enormous scale is a very different experience from looking at a small reproduction. If your date offers a different artist, the same immersive format applies, so check the booking panel for the show that is running.

How an immersive show works

The images are synchronised with a specially composed soundtrack, and the whole show repeats in a loop, so you can arrive at any time within your entry slot and stay as long as you like. Many visitors sit on the floor or on benches for a while, then walk around to see the projections from different angles.

Because the rooms are dim and the images move, it may be difficult for anyone sensitive to flashing light, and small children may find the sound loud. Take a coat, as the hall can be cool, and use the lockers included with your ticket.

Getting there and planning your visit

The venue is in Amsterdam, and the exact address is shown on your voucher. Many visitors ask how to get to Fabrique des Lumières: trams, buses and bicycles from the centre all work, and the journey takes around twenty minutes. Allow extra time for finding the entrance.

Your ticket is for a specific entry time, so arrive a little before it. Timed-entry slots sell out in busy periods, so book early. A guide is not included, and the venue is wheelchair-accessible. Opening days and times change, so check the panel.
