The untold story of two great masters
Whenever someone mentions the great Dutch painting masters, there is a good chance they are referring to either Rembrandt van Rijn or Vincent van Gogh (or both). They are some of the greatest Dutch artists of all time. And while their lives were separated by centuries, their works turn out to be more similar than you might think.
The exposition Van Gogh & Rembrandt in Amsterdam tells the story of how the two painters are connected, how Van Gogh became fascinated by Rembrandt and even inspired by him. The story is told through Van Gogh’s letters to his brother as well as the artwork of both artists. Van Gogh & Rembrandt in Amsterdam is an immersive experience that will leave you mesmerized.
A story told through light and sound
Van Gogh & Rembrandt in Amsterdam is the first immersive son-et-lumière (sound and light) show to be shown on such a scale inside a national monument. The show uses the entire interior of the Noorderkerk, from the walls to the brim, as its setting creating a 360° moving canvas. Inside the church, you’ll find yourself surrounded by sunflowers, angels and blossoms as you experience the admiration Vincent van Gogh had for Rembrandt van Rijn.
The story unfolds around you, while you lay down in the comfortable beanbags or take a stroll through the church. You'll see and hear how Van Gogh found inspiration in Rembrandt's paintings, etchings and the views of the great master. You could call Rembrandt the first influencer that ever lived!

Amazing immersive experience and not to be missed!
Beautiful immersive way to enjoy learning about Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Gorgeous setting and wonderful video/music projected onto the church. I feel sad by the amount of negative reviews because the purchasers didn’t know what they were buying - this is no reflection on the experience and is user error. The website clearly states multiple times ‘we are not the Van Gogh museum’ so I don’t think they can do any more to avoid this happening. I would definitely recommend - I loved lying on the bean bags to watch the church transform in front of my eyes!

Wonderful experience
The show was amazing and breathtaking !! The images and the sound worked so well together. We enjoyed the whole show and the time flew away. The church as a place for this show was just the perfect spot. For us it was the perfect final of a great day in Amsterdam. It’s a beautiful way to come a little closer to the two artist Van Gogh and Rembrandt, even if you don’t enjoy standing in a museum and watching art the whole day.

Incredible virtual experience
The virtual art experience of Van Gogh and Rembrandt was absolutely stunning. The setting was both lovely and meaningful, creating a perfect backdrop for the works of these two iconic artists. The atmosphere was immersive, and the visuals were simply breathtaking, bringing their masterpieces to life in ways that felt both intimate and grand. What made this experience truly memorable was how well it conveyed the stories and legacies of these two famous local artists. Each piece seemed to speak not only of their genius but of the rich cultural heritage they left behind. The combination of stunning visuals, captivating storytelling, and an incredible atmosphere made this experience a beautiful tribute to Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Highly recommended for any art lover!

Amazing immersive art experience!
The MOST amazing experience! Absolute highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. Grab a bean bag on the floor, recline, and look up as the art and story are projected on the ceiling and walls. Staff did a great job. Go!

Art in immersive storytelling!
This is a must see experience. Cozy, immersive and a unique lens to art. It helps you get a peek into Van Gogh's mind and why Rembrandt inspired him as much as he did.

Informative and enjoyable visit to see this light display
Really enjoyed this light display. The setting was perfect to learn about these fabulous artists. It was held in a church and you had the choice to lie on the floor on beanbags or chairs. Very informative

Great experience!
Great experience, different and beautiful. It would be better if there were different languages, and the sound is a bit low so it was difficult to understand.

Visual Excitement!
The visuals were great, it felt so surreal. The staff were super patient (I was 5 minutes late 🤭🤭) Definitely recommend!!

Immersive experience
A very cool experience linking the two great artists in a church we you are surrounded but their artwork screened onto the walls and ceiling. Music was emotive and the art stunning. Only downside is the audio which can be difficult to hear.

Impressive visuals
Such an incredible show! The visuals were so impressive and very friendly staff! I liked how you could take photos of the show as well.

Came here with my partner without pre-planning our visit and found that to be no problem. Upon queueing up we found out that there was an English show in an hour and a half and that we could come back for that show. When we got back, we bought the tickets without any issues, made our way inside the church and found a beanbag to lay down on. The whole experience took about 45min and was absolutely beautiful to watch. They tell you the (a small part of) life story of Van Gogh and how that intertwined with Rembrandt, how the paintings got to be as we know them today and the visuals really captivate the words that are spoken. The visuals in general are absolutely captivating and very peaceful. For some the show was so peaceful they even snoozed off. Which was quite hilarious to see. I do have to say that the seating availability isn't the greatest for the angle you need to be tilting your head to watch the show for a long time. If you have a beanbag you are definitely a lucky person, since many complained about their neck afterwards. Overall a good experience, would recommend this for the arts enthusiasts out there.

By mistake me, my wife and my baby girl have visited the Van Gogh x Rembrandt but honestly what an experience to have in Amsterdam. Bruno was super cool and has shared so much after the presentation too. Definitely if you are in Amsterdam you should pay them a visit!

Great experience, beautiful views and informative but not boring at all.

A magical experience from start to finish. I was wowed by every change of scène. You don't just get to see the art, you get to live in it

Great price and worth the visit.
My husband and I really enjoyed this experience. It was a great way to increase our basic knowledge of both artists while enjoying the visuals of their works projected in a place they met. The experience was immersive and cut you off from the outside world. While we were a few minutes late, the staff were accomodating and the experience was worth our time. Would recommend.

What a wonderful way to enjoy both artists stories and feel as if you’re in the painting. You can stand, sit or lie down on large pillows. My daughter and I happened upon this immersive experience, offered in Dutch and English. A 360 degree projection in De Noorderkerk. The staff were gracious and kind! I couldn’t have asked for a better serendipitous immersive art experience. I highly recommend and would see again. Tickets can be bought at the door.

Great venue and lovely helpful staff. Unique experience
Visited this exhibition and although had some trouble finding it it was well worth it. The staff were so helpful helping us find our way back to central train station. Amazing venue and insightful story told. The projections of the artists works were incredible. A fully emersive experience we would strongly recommend.

A unique experience
A unique experience with the famous paintings projected on the church ceiling and wall while you lie on bean bags to listen to the story behind them

Emotional & evocative.
I left with goosebumps, this was such a unique & touching experience. Feel blessed to have experienced it. Jus wonderful, it really made my holiday.

I wondered how it will be, the result for me is that I was very satisfied. Indeed, it is well done, both for images, Lights and sounds. I think I understand now better who is Rembrandt and I have to say that thanks to this show I also appreciate his paints...
May 18, 2023Peter Peralta
An interesting take on same famous artists. Very comfortable seating and an all immersive viewing for 45 mins. If you want something a little different and not too much detail this is ideal. NB. You should know a little about the two and art before heading in.
May 11, 2023Anush Mardumyan
Very nice environment , perfectly made installation! A lot of room for sitting. The old church keeps the vibe. And it is amazing to feel that Rembrandt and Van Gogh were in the same church sitting maybe on the same place. Both children and grandparents were in love. See more pictures and videos attached.

One of the best 3D projections experiences I have ever seen and a compelling story to go with it. We really enjoyed this production and the beautiful venue. Great attention to detail in the story, the visuals and a lovely soundtrack bring this entire experience to the next level. Highly recommended and, in my opinion, better than many other Rembrandt and Van Gogh Amsterdam attractions...
Apr 15, 2023Damaris J.
Beautiful and emotionally very touching! An absolute must for a real VanGogh fan! I also liked the overlays from paintings by both artists. And all this this presented in a beautiful very old church that both artists had visited during their time ! Stunning!♥️♥️♥️

How the lives of these two Dutch (and the world's) masters intertwined in an absolutely breathtaking digital re-imagined storytelling. It's a must if you visit (or live) in Amsterdam. Highly recommended!!!

Tolles Event
Wir wurden von einem supernetten Team empfangen, die Atmosphäre in der Kirche war natürlich auch etwas ganz besonderes. Die Show war wundervoll aufgebaut, immer wieder gab es fantastische Übergänge. Die Geschichte Van Goghs aus seinen Briefen zu erfahren war wirklich spannend, man sollte auf jeden Fall recht gut englisch verstehen können, um den Texten zu folgen. Wir waren auf jeden Fall begeistert und haben viele Fotos und Videos gemacht. Es lohnt sich, sich frühzeitig in die Schlange zu stellen, um einen der gemütlichen Sitzsäcke zu bekommen.

Geweldige ervaring in een prachtige ambiance. Jammer dat de speaker in het engels is. Ik woon in Nederland.!,Verder absolute aanrader!

Gave experiance.
Een prachtige filmische experiance over Van Gogh en Rembrandt. In de embiance van de oude Noorderkerk zie je over de nog steeds aanwezige onderdelen van de kerk, zoaks oreekstorl, orgel, kroonluchters en kerkramen impressies van werken van Van Gogh en van Rembrandt.
