Inside the Upside Down Museum Amsterdam

As soon as you enter the Upside Down Museum you lose the feeling of above and below in a rotating vortex, after which you step into life-size and moving RGB projections. You stand upside down in the Royal Room, experience life below sea level in the Infinity Room, after which you check out some other rooms like The Club where clubbing is on a whole new level.  In the Upside Down museum visitors “create content” by becoming part of the installations, and there are employees who help you choose the perfect pose for your unforgettable pictures. You can take selfies or just smile at one of the museum’s cameras. Afterward, with a little luck, you will have enough photos to keep your Instagram page running for weeks.

The Upside Down Amsterdam museum has a large café that can be fully rented for events with groups up to 250 people. In addition, everything is possible in the experience itself. For example, you can rent the entire experience and use the sets to present your product.

With an area of 1500 m2 and 25 rooms, the Upside Down Museum is the largest Instagram museum in Europe. In the museum’s rooms, with all kinds of different themes, visitors are given the freedom to go wild and take fantastic, fun and memorable “Instagrammable” pictures. There is a real Mondrian room where you enjoy some modern art and colour, a Dutch Design room for all things minimalist, experimental, innovative and a bit quirky, and of course the Pool with 81.286 balls to dive into. Wander the halls and look at the works of the great masters.

Don’t miss out on this museum where you don’t just have fun, but come to unleash your creativity and capture memorable moments that would always put a smile on your face for years to come.
