What to expect at Fabrique des Lumières?

Visitors outside Fabrique des Lumières in Amsterdam, part of a combo ticket offer.
1/6

Arrive inside a transformed industrial landmark

Walk into a restored nineteenth-century gasworks where soaring brick walls, towering columns, and expansive floors become enormous digital canvases. Music begins to build as projections surround every surface, setting the tone before the first exhibition even starts.

Choose your immersive exhibition journey

Standard entry lets you attend one exhibition scheduled for your selected time. Depending on your ticket, you can also combine two shows or enjoy uninterrupted access to every current exhibition presented throughout the day.

See masterpieces reimagined on a monumental scale

Dutch Masters fills the vast hall with moving works by Vermeer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Mondrian, and other celebrated artists. Rather than viewing paintings on gallery walls, you'll watch them expand across the architecture with synchronized music and animation.

Wander through Klimt's golden world

The Klimt exhibition surrounds you with shimmering interpretations of The Kiss and other masterpieces before introducing the bold colours and decorative style of the Vienna Secession. Every projection flows seamlessly across walls, floors, and towering pillars.

Travel millions of years into prehistoric Earth

The Prehistoric Planet: Dinosaurs exhibition replaces paintings with cinematic landscapes where enormous dinosaurs roam forests, coastlines, and ancient deserts. Realistic animation, immersive sound, and floor-to-ceiling projections create a surprisingly lifelike atmosphere.

Extend your visit beyond Fabrique des Lumières

Choose a combo ticket to continue your day at the Rijksmuseum or aboard a one-hour Amsterdam canal cruise. Both offer a contrasting perspective, from centuries-old masterpieces to the city's UNESCO-listed waterways.

Things to know before booking your Fabrique des Lumières tickets

  • Choose your exhibition access carefully: Not every ticket includes the same number of exhibitions. Standard tickets grant entry to one exhibition, while upgraded options include any two exhibitions or unrestricted access to all three current shows. Check the inclusions before booking so you don't miss the exhibition you most want to see.
  • Book the exhibition time that suits your schedule: Each exhibition runs during a fixed daily time slot rather than continuously throughout the day. Dutch Masters is presented from 9:30am–11:30am, Prehistoric Planet from 12pm–2:30pm, and Klimt from 3pm–6pm (26 June–17 September 2026), making your arrival time an important booking decision.
  • Understand what timed entry means: Your ticket reserves admission during your selected time slot, but all visitors still pass through security before entering. Late arrivals are generally accepted only within the venue's permitted grace period, except for the final session of the day.
  • Decide whether one, two, or three exhibitions make sense: If you're mainly interested in a single artist or theme, the standard ticket is sufficient. Visitors wanting a broader introduction should consider the two-exhibition pass, while the all-inclusive ticket offers the most complete visit without choosing between exhibitions.
  • Combo tickets create a full-day itinerary: If you're already planning to visit another Amsterdam attraction, the combo tickets offer a convenient alternative. Pair Fabrique des Lumières with the Rijksmuseum for two contrasting art experiences, or combine it with a one-hour canal cruise to add sightseeing without arranging separate bookings.
  • Accessibility is well considered: Most exhibition areas are wheelchair accessible, though the tiered seating inside the main hall isn't. Guide dogs are welcome, two wheelchairs are available onsite, accessible restrooms are provided, and foldable chairs can be borrowed if standing for longer periods becomes uncomfortable.
  • Know the venue restrictions before arriving: Large luggage, umbrellas, prams, food, drinks, smoking, and flash photography aren't permitted inside. Because several exhibitions feature powerful light and sound effects, visitors with epilepsy or vertigo should review suitability before booking. Unaccompanied children under 12 are not permitted.

Tips & guidelines

  • Choose your exhibition wisely: Each exhibition has a distinct mood—from Dutch Golden Age masterpieces to Art Nouveau elegance or prehistoric adventures—so pick the one that genuinely matches your interests.
  • Stay for the full cycle: The projections continuously evolve rather than repeat as isolated scenes, making the complete presentation far more rewarding than a quick walkthrough.
  • Change your vantage point: Spend time at different spots around the hall. The scale, perspective, and interaction between projections shift noticeably depending on where you stand.
  • Mind the exhibition schedule: The three exhibitions run in separate time blocks rather than continuously, so plan your day accordingly if you're visiting more than one.
  • Prepare for sensory intensity: Monumental projections, surround sound, and moving visuals create an immersive atmosphere that may feel overwhelming if you're sensitive to light or motion.
  • Pack light: Large bags, umbrellas, prams, and suitcases aren't allowed inside. Travelling with only essentials makes moving through the exhibition far more comfortable.
  • Bring a payment card: The venue operates entirely cash-free, so use a debit card, credit card, or digital wallet for the café, shop, or other purchases.
