Amsterdam Light Night

Wereldmuseum is taking part in the Amsterdam Light Festival again this year. From 26 November 2026 through 17 January 2027, you can find the interactive artwork Resurgent Streams by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer in the middle of the Lichthal (Light Hall). On Saturday, 12 December, the museum opens its doors for a special Light Night. On this evening, the art route comes to life, and everyone is welcome to warm up together and join the special programme at the artwork in the Lichthal.

Escape the dark at the Light Night. Come warm up, catch up, and admire the light installation Resurgent Stream and register below. Once you've registered, you'll be on the list and will receive a confirmation mail with a QR code. Would you like to bring a guest? Then select two tickets: one for you and one for your guest. 

• 5:00 pm: Doors open and viewing of the artwork Resurgent Streams 
• 5:30 pm: Programme with poetry and artist talks with Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

Because we are part of Amsterdam Light Festival, the museum will be open in the evenings from the Christmas holidays onward! From 19 December through 17 January, you can visit Wereldmuseum for free on Saturdays and Sundays from 19:00 to 22:00. Discover the interactive light installation Resurgent Streams, the new exhibitions DISCO and Play!, our permanent exhibitions and our holiday programme for all ages.
