The journey to the moon

The exhibition is inspired by the first science fiction short film ever: Le Voyage Dans La Lune. The story is about a group of men preparing a spaceship to travel to the moon. The exhibition reflects the solidarity and joy that the men experience during their mission. This exhibition presents the raw and extraordinary story told by eight astronomers. The moon is beautiful and mysterious. In addition to colorful elements, the exhibition contains dark, industrial accents and raw elements. These symbolize the mysterious side of the moon, such as the alien animals that the group encounters during the 'Le Voyage Dans La Lune'. The exhibition contains some highly recognized works of art by Dutch female and male artists, such as ZEDZ and YorkOne, who have previously been shown at events such as Burning Man, Wasteland and the Brussels Urban Art Fair.

Art is a walk er, way of living

In addition to the art exhibition, art'otel Amsterdam and Amsterdam Street Art organize a Street Art Walking Tour for hotel guests every Saturday led by an art expert. Thanks to an artistic walk through the district, visitors to the city will discover works of art by famous artists and secret, photogenic gardens, alleys and shops. The art'otel has the wonderful restaurant and bar ARCA where you can also enjoy a delicious dinner after the walk!
