Inside Amsterdam | Amsterdam Light Festival

The Amsterdam Light Festival is about to start again. In the dark months of December and January, you can find light-installations and events across the city centre to brighten up your evenings. Near Central Station you can find the Fly's Eye Dome by Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983, USA), a prototype for a mobile and modular home. Or see a building long gone, rebuilt with light: the Temporal Tower, a reincarnation of the Haringpakkerstoren that was a part of our cityscape until the beginning of the 19th century. You can also participate in a lightbattle outside the Rijksmuseum, where you can climb on a bike and battle an opponent with you're bike light.

On rainy days, there's plenty to do inside. A lot of galleries and museums are participating, like GO Gallery with LED There Be Light. I'm definitely going there to see the light robots by +Brauer.

Loads more to do and see though! Check out Amsterdam Light Festival walking routes and events here. It will start the 6th of December, ending the 19th of January.
