The Upside Down
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.
