Fabrique des Lumières Amsterdam: tickets, immersive shows and opening hours

Updated on October 26, 2026

Fabrique des Lumières Amsterdam is a digital art centre in the former gasworks of the Westergasfabriek (Pazzanistraat 37, Westerpark district). Giant projections of paintings, light and music fill the walls and floor: the main show, "From Vermeer to Van Gogh" (Vermeer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh), runs about 50 minutes according to the ticket seller. Adult entry from 18 € on Tiqets (seen on 26 October 2026); the programme changes several times a year. Allow about 1 hour on site. Hours vary by show and season: sources contradict each other and the official site could not be read, so pick a precise time slot when you book.

Tips

  • Book a time slot in advance, especially at weekends and during school holidays. Price: adults from 18 € on Tiqets (26 October 2026); guides mention a child rate (ages 5-17) around 14 € and free entry under 5, to be confirmed. Combined tickets exist with a canal cruise, the Moco Museum or GVB public transport; compare them with the total of buying separately. According to several ticket listings, strollers and suitcases are not allowed, and children must be accompanied. For other immersive experiences, see AMAZE Amsterdam, the Banksy Museum and our guide to the Westerpark.
