Invisible Collection
Have you ever wondered what it is like to not be able to see art? During the museumnight our Invisible Collection is launched. A collection of artworks told by Peter Vandermeersch, Dirk van Weelden, Valentijn Byvanck, Ann Demeester, Zeger Reyers, Maria Hlavajova, Charles Esche and Wim Pijbes. Listen to the first ones during the Museum Night. During the opening on the 3rd of November, a live version of the podcast is brought to you by Valentijn Byvanck and Dirk van Weelden. Close your eyes and open up to this unique art experience!
Blind ETEN
While you taste food primarily with your mouth, you experience it very differently without sight. For the Museum Night, culinary artist Asli Hatipoglu & our own Mediamatic chef Thorwald Voss prepared a series of dishes made for the senses, that gain strength without vision.
The Skin is an Extension of the Brain
The Skin Is An Extension Of The Brain is a collection of tactile installations. With these works, artist Margherita Soldati explores the relationship between visitors and space. Through textile manipulation and its application in architecture, your sense of touch will be stimulated. This creates a stronger relationship between people, space and the experience of our daily environment.
'O' Tristana
Oysters are locked in their homemade houses. Once they have settled, they never move again. A sad thing, according to artist Zeger Reyers. No oyster is the same. The molluscs are too weak to keep shape after they are opened. For 'O' Tristana Zeger opened hundreds of oysters. This work makes the oyster that we can never see visible and tangible.
Inverted Soundwalk
Inverted Soundwalk is a portable installation by Natali Blugerman, a work of art that lets you go outside and listens to the sounds low on the ground. Sounds that we normally miss because our ears are so high on our bodies. Inverted Soundwalk connects your feet with your ears and makes you aware of your verticality.

The perfume
After 360 years, the Navy Terrain opens up. We will get more space in the centre of Amsterdam. What can we do with this? There are many options. Five perfumers developed unique fragrances inspired by five options. Five tailor-made fragrances give expression to various prospective visions of the city. These scents are now exhibited at Mediamatic (Het Parfum). Step by to smell different options for the future of Amsterdam. Does your favourite smell match your favourite future?
