Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam, at Tweede Leliedwarsstraat 5, the Electric Ladyland - Museum of Fluorescent Art offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of fluorescence. This cozy, one-room museum is not just a collection of art; it’s an immersive experience that invites visitors to explore the vibrant interplay of light and color. The museum, run by the passionate Nick and his partner Michele, showcases a unique array of fluorescent minerals and art pieces that glow under UV light, creating a visual feast that captivates both the curious and the art aficionado.

While Electric Ladyland is primarily an art museum, its location is surrounded by delightful cafés and eateries that enhance your visit. Just a stone's throw away, you can find Jenifer Street, a charming café known for its artisanal coffee and delectable pastries. Enjoy a cup of rich Dutch coffee paired with a freshly baked stroopwafel, a traditional syrup-filled waffle that melts in your mouth. This perfect pairing makes for a delightful pre- or post-visit treat.

One of the standout features of Electric Ladyland is its intimate guided tours, where Nick shares his vast knowledge about the science and history of fluorescence. Visitors often leave with a newfound appreciation for this unique art form, as Nick’s enthusiasm is infectious. The museum also features a collection of fluorescent rocks from around the world, each with its own story, making every visit a unique journey.

The museum's charm lies not only in its exhibits but also in the personal stories shared by its owners. Nick, originally from the USA, and Michele, from France, have spent years traveling and collecting unique fluorescent pieces. Their journey has turned into a labor of love, and their passion for art and science shines through every interaction. Visitors often remark on the warmth and friendliness of the couple, making the experience feel more like a visit to a friend's home than a traditional museum.

 It is known for its unique collection of fluorescent art and minerals, providing an immersive experience that showcases the beauty of fluorescence.

 Visiting Electric Ladyland offers a unique blend of art, science, and personal storytelling, making it a memorable experience for all ages.

 The museum operates with flexible hours, so it's best to check in advance or arrive early to secure your spot.

Whether you're an art enthusiast, a science lover, or simply looking for a unique experience in Amsterdam, Electric Ladyland is a must-visit destination. With its vibrant displays and engaging storytelling, this hidden gem promises to leave you with lasting memories. Plan your visit today and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of fluorescence!

A really interesting and unique experience. It's sort of a one-room museum very personal to the owner, Nick. He really knows his stuff and creates some of the art displayed with his girlfriend. The pictures don't do it justice.

I would recommend getting tickets in advance, sometimes you get lucky (we just arrived and got in with just 3 random other people) but sometimes he doesn't feel like it (which I totally understand) or it might be too full (the group after us had probably 15 people and the room is just too small and hot to accommodate that many). So I imagine your experience will vary.

If you're lucky to get in with a small group you'll see a unique perspective and he'll be able to answer any questions you might have.

Cute, but cluttered, little fluorescent art shop, with a little museum in the basement. Recommend booking a time in advance, as not many people can fit. The art, some (much?) of it created by the women running the shop is interesting, and while not exactly my style I know some people who would love the colours and look of the pieces.

The museum below is just as big (or small) but less cluttered. The walls and cases are filled with all sorts of things that glow under black light. The guy who gives the tour is more than full of info all about the history, science, background, and all manner of knowledge of fluorescence! Seeing the art upstairs is cool, seeing the objects downstairs is super interesting, but really: you should be coming to listen to him and his stories and information. If you have any interest in this (and I didn't know I did before I went!) it's worth the price of admission to hear all the info. He's right, most people leave before he's done, but they're missing the best part: stories illuminated by black light.

It is amazing place where you can get interesting tour. The entrance fee is only 5 euro, (only cash) it’s cheap for such quality and timing. I like nice lady from India and her husband from US who opened this place. They are kind and have big life experience. They collected these unusual rocks from different countries and now they have huge collection in the basement. I highly recommend you to visit it!

Tours go in around once every 30 minutes I think. It's literally a dude's basement and it's a bit tight but the people there are really worth it. While I waited for the tour to start, I hung out upstairs with a very nice lady Michele, who had a lot of really fascinating facts about the art and the science behind it. Nick, who gave the tour, had infectious passion for the subject and I think I could probably talk with him all day about his work. One of the few museums I've been in where I felt I really learned something more than random facts and figures.

If you go in expecting some super polished and professional "museum" I'd say you might be out of place. Go in with an open mind and treat this as a social/cultural experience and you'll have a blast.

If I could give it ten stars I would. This place may be tiny, but it's an absolute Aladdin's Cave full of amazing & unexpected treasures. The main ones being its proprietors, Michele and Nick, from France & the USA - tourists for 38 years, he said. She's charming, & he's hilarious, & full of brilliant stories and wonderful information. It's only €7.50 per person (my son paid €5 because he's a student) & they say you'll spend half an hour to an hour there, but we were there nearly 2 as we were getting on so well. He stayed open late as we were chatting a lot. As for the exhibits, they're so cool and beautiful! Make sure you see everything under both types of UV light! Stuff they've made, stuff they've collected, and so much info about the history of florescent paints etc. I want to go back after some mushrooms! 💓💓💓
We had to wait to enter but didn't mind as there's an excellent café beside it- Jenifer St!
