Step into a world of an immersive digital art imagination, where colours and design combine to make you feel like you are in a walking abstract art.
In the same family as ‘Atelier des Lumières’ in Paris, Fabrique des Lumières Amsterdam is a new cultural space and digital art centre in a former industrial gas plant of Westergasfabriek.
With various ongoing exhibitions of famous artists, each exhibit is a treat to the senses - from the moving animations projected on the floors and every corner of the wall, to the matching whimsical music. The state-of-the-art technology revolves around light and sound - taking a traditional canvas into a whole open world that you can explore.
Once you are in the venue, nothing is static - you can stand in one spot if you like, but all the imagery around you will continue to flow and change different scenes.
The current exhibition features Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, as well as other spaces within the digital art centre for other magical works.
Tips and Tricks
- You're free and encouraged to move as you like! Some people lay flat down on the ground to stare up at the digital art on the ceiling (the walls are 17 metres high!), and others go up on the second floor to look out from a bird's eye perspective.
- Tickets purchased online allow you to skip the queue and give you direct entry to your allocated timeslot. However, online tickets are nonrefundable or exchangeable.
Getting there
- By Car: from the A10 ring road: take the S103/S104 (Haarlem) exit, then follow signs to the city centre via the Haarlemmerweg. For parking, use the Q-Park Westergasfabriek.
- By Bus: Bus 21 from the central railway station, alight at Van Hallstraat/Westergasfabriek.
- By Metro: Tram 3 from the city centre, alight at either Van Limburg Stirumplein or Van Hallstraat/Westergasfabriek.
