Good to know

Practical notes before your visit.

TimingFor the calmest visit, choose a weekday morning and avoid weekend and midday sessions, which are generally busier. Fabrique des Lumières uses different schedules for each exhibition, and final entry is one hour before the relevant exhibition closes, so choose a specific morning session rather than relying on general venue hours.
EntranceGo to Fabrique des Lumières at Pazzanistraat 37 in Westerpark and show your ticket on your phone at the entrance; printing is optional. Timed tickets are valid only for the selected date and time, with a 30-minute arrival window after the booked start except for the final start time. Suitcases are not permitted, and strollers cannot enter for safety reasons; a guarded cloakroom with lockers is available for bags.
PriceThe official benchmark for an adult Entry ticket is €18. No partner price is available for comparison, so check the final checkout total and inclusions carefully if you find another seller.
DiscountsChildren under 5 enter Fabrique des Lumières free, but they still need an admission ticket, which can be arranged online or at the ticket desk. The family rate is intended for 2 adults and 2 children aged 5–17; students and young visitors should bring valid proof of eligibility. Stadspas, I amsterdam City Card and Go City access are handled at the on-site ticket desk rather than through online reservation, while Museum Card, ICOM Card and VriendenLoterij VIP-Card are not valid.

Planning your visit

Fabrique des Lumières is a digital art centre and digital art museum inside the former industrial Zuiveringshal West at Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. The venue is part of the Culturespaces network, which includes Atelier des Lumières in Paris, while Culturespaces Amsterdam presents large-scale programmes with projected art and music.

A visit is built around an immersive art exhibition rather than framed canvases: a 360-degree projection covers the walls and floors, turning each digital art show into a moving audiovisual environment. Past programmes have featured Gustav Klimt and Salvador Dalí, and the venue’s Renaissance experience has an audio-visual show duration of around 50 minutes.

Choose a timed-entry ticket because advance timeslot booking controls access to each experience. Your general admission ticket normally carries an e-ticket barcode for scanning at the entrance, while the last entry time is one hour before the relevant exhibition closes; opening hours vary by experience. The adult entry ticket shown for Fabrique des Lumières is €18.

For public transport, use Tram 5 Van Hallstraat or Bus 21 Van Hallstraat, both serving the Westergas area near the venue. Drivers can use Q-Park Westergasfabriek, about 600 metres away. Wheelchair accessibility is available throughout the main visitor areas, but the elevated platform in the main hall and the first-floor toilet are not wheelchair accessible.

Before you buy

Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.

  • Tickets are non-refundable. Date or time changes are only possible for tickets bought through the official Fabrique des Lumières website, and only when another slot is available.
  • Your ticket is valid only for the selected date and time. Late arrival is accepted for up to 30 minutes after the booked start time, except for the final start time of an exhibition.
  • Suitcases are not permitted inside Fabrique des Lumières. A guarded cloakroom with lockers is available, but oversized luggage can still create an access problem.
  • Strollers are not permitted inside the exhibition areas for safety reasons; visitors with babies should use a baby carrier instead.
  • A mobile ticket is accepted, but you must still present it at the entrance for scanning. A timed slot does not remove the normal admission check, so keep the ticket ready when joining the entry flow.
  • A ticket covers only the selected exhibition. If multiple exhibitions run on the same day, the space closes and resets between shows, and your ticket does not grant access to the others.

Tickets are non-refundable. If you bought through the official website, you can change the date or start time to another available slot before your booked visit.

Should I buy from the official site or another seller?

For the "Adults" entry ticket, the seller is Official site. Buying through the official website is the clearest option if you may need to change your time slot, because the venue’s change policy applies to tickets purchased there.

What bags and security restrictions apply at Fabrique des Lumières?

A guarded cloakroom with lockers is available, but suitcases are not permitted. Strollers are also not allowed inside, so a baby carrier is recommended for young children.

No. A ticket grants access only to the selected exhibition or performance, and visitors may stay until that exhibition ends. The space is closed and reset between exhibitions, making the booked time slot the main internal access constraint.
