✨ Dive into the World of Dali and Gaudi at Fabrique des Lumieres in Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam ✨

Fabrique des Lumieres is an art installation in the industrial setting of Westergasfabriek. Currently, it features the works of Dali and Gaudi. As soon as you step into the vast hall, you're instantly transported into the magical worlds, finding yourself immersed within the paintings themselves.

Imagine being surrounded by projected artwork on all sides, creating a breathtaking sensory experience. You can find a cozy spot on the floor or lean against the walls to fully absorb the art that unfolds before your eyes. The kids were in awe, their eyes wide with wonder, as they witnessed the art come alive around them.

Unlike traditional art museums, here the kids can roam around the hall, exploring the art from different perspectives. It allows them to fully engage with the art and create their own unique experience.

Accompanied by the music, the atmosphere becomes even more enchanting. The blend of visuals and sounds takes you on a journey through the minds of these visionary artists.

The artwork is projected in two loops, each lasting around 10 minutes. You can enjoy as many loops as you like, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the masterpieces of both Dali and Gaudi.

Now, about ticket prices. They are on the pricier side, but the experience is undeniably unique. The ticket prices are:
* Adult: 16 Euro
* Youth (5-17 years): 12 Euro
* Children (under 5 years): Free

It's a great opportunity for artistic children to delve into the world of these incredible artists and ignite their imagination. Have you already visited the exhibition? What was your experience?
