This was an awesome experience. The guy that runs the place is really funny, a nice dude, and knows every single rock in his collection as if they were his own children. We were shown through with about a dozen other strangers and we were all chatting like old mates by the end of it! What a blast. And for... More

My fiancée and I checked this place out on our trip to Amsterdam last summer. It's really small and we had a tough time finding it but it was awesome!! The guy who runs it is a very nice and knowledgable guy. He showed us all sorts of very cool flourescent art as well as flourescent things hidden in everyday... More

We loved this place! A stunning visual experience. Nick, the owner/curator, brought it all to life. Not to be missed.

This museum was hilariously impressive. We put on the slippers they gave us and stepped down into a world of fluorescent art and natural items. Nick knew his stuff and went into great detail on the different pieces which is why it was so hilarious that he ended the tour with a piece of art and all he said about... More

I wasn't quite sure what to expect before visiting the museum, but what an experience! The man who hosted the tour is fascinating and I could have listened to his various stories and tales for hours. He was happy to answer any questions we had and even showed us some of the exhibits that we had missed (we were a... More

Be prepared to take off your shoes and put slippers on before Nick takes you down to his mini museum. Nick is very knowledgeable in geology and history of minerals. He even shows you his tattoo under the fluorescent lights made from minerals. Did you know anything organic glows under a black light??? Nick will educate you on all kinds... More

This is a unique museum! Forgot about just Amsterdam, I'm not sure I've seen anything like this before at all. The guy who runs the place knows his stuff; fascinating insights into everything neon and fluorescent. 5euro entry fee but definitely worth it. I can see why some people have posted negative feedback about not being able to get in... More

If you're like me and like to abstain from the big crowds and bustling exhibitions and prefer the intimate and unique, then this museum is for you. Nick has an amazing, hand-picked collection of phosphorescent stones from all over the world. He's very well educated in the topic, geology and the history which might be more interesting than you think.... More

This place really is excellent. It was completely different to anything else we did whilst in Amsterdam. You get to see some unique art and a number of objects that react to black light in a way you would never expect. Nick, who runs the museum also gives a running commentary on the objects and art. He is knowledgable and... More

It was SO hard to find! we were running around in circles for hours trying to find it. When we DID find it, there was a little sign in the corner of the window saying, "Tour of museum in progress, please ring door bell for service. May take some minutes." Now I don't know how big the museum actually is,... More
