The Upside Down builds photos from 25 rooms

Near the RAI, this experience uses upside-down sets, optical illusions and New Dutch themes for a route focused on interaction and photography.

Plan your visit ↗

Upside down is camera work

In a rotated room, visitors stay upright while the set and the camera angle create the illusion. First look at the construction, then choose your viewpoint deliberately.

New Dutch as a theme

Rooms refer to contemporary Dutch visual culture. Read which maker or tradition is actually named and distinguish stereotypical sets from concrete cultural explanation.

A route at your own pace

A visit takes an average of an hour and a half and works with time slots. Free lockers keep bags out of the sets; a lift and a wheelchair-friendly route support accessibility.

Before you go

Monday–Thursday until 18.00, Friday–Saturday until 20.00 and Sunday until 19.00; book a time slot.
