    I have never seen anything so beautiful!! Truly the organization and idea of using this quarry It really is rewarding. A feast for the eyes, the play of light and the different animations to give life to the art. I advise you to pass because it is a beautiful place especially for the families. After that you can visit the chateau baux by walking 5 minutes

    Amazing place of art and usage of a place. Highly recommended for all who love art. Multimedia presentation of van Gogh was excellent and unique. We spent 3 h inside. There is also a dining area with toilets. Just be aware that parking is very expensive for the first hour (5€), we paid 6.5€ for 3 hours. The entry fee was 14.5 € for an adult. Inside was nice cold, just perfect regarding that outside was 34 C.

    Really above expectations. Beautiful presentation in a mountain. It already starts with the beautiful route to the location. Parking 🅿️ is paid, but enough spots and some will require some more walking. Location is children and wheelchair friendly. Even the kids enjoyed the show as the complete location is part of the presentation. Beautiful storyline and nice that there are multiple benches to sit, relax and to enjoy the show. It’s worth it to do a round and view the show from different angles. Cafe/lunch section is not the greatest but ok 👍🏻.

    A totally immersive experience that’s stunning in its creativity, use of multi media and the wonderful setting. Wherever one stands there’s a new vista of sound and vision. Limited parking nearby, especially for larger vehicles so arrive early and be prepared to spend a couple of hours to enjoy the whole experience.

    We went for the Tintin exhibition, it was really awesome for the kids and me. Whoever read and like the comics would love that experience. Entrance fee (family pack 41€) worth the value. Need to check in advance as the Tintin one is only few days a week, and exhibitions are turning over the year. Restroom are inside. Count around 1h to 1h30 for the full visit.

    Beautiful place for digital art expositions. But be careful. It’s easy to get lost when it’s dark inside in between of the shows - huge open space. You’ll get an astonishing experience through visual, music and art!

    We were invited and informed in advance that it is an experience we will not forget 😇 (Vincent Van Gogh). And so it happened, I expected a lot, but the mastered projection on the walls and the floor, supported by even better acoustics, wow, beauty, I will never forget this experience. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

    Not typically my thing, and have never attended one of these immersive art shows in the past because I've always thought they were gimmicky and expensive. Because this one was only a few € more after buying our castle tickets, and because I read other glowing reviews we decided to give it a try. Wow, I was blown away! We saw the Dutch art Vermeer to Van Gogh and loved it, but we are also lovers of real Dutch art so we were excited when some of the pieces we've seen in person at museums showed up on the walls. It was just the right length to see the whole thing in an hour but of course you could stay longer if you wanted. Nice and cool inside. Plenty of seating to watch the show, although most people stood and walked around. There was also a cafe inside we didn't go to, but saw signs for.

    Amazingly well put together. Very impressive projections of some of the Dutch painters onto the internal cave walls, amplified by moving stills and lovely classical music and jazz (Mondrian). Well worth the money.

    Wow… I could have stayed for hours. Went on a Wednesday so saw the special Tintin exposition. The mix of visuals, sounds, music, vibe… never smiled so much at walls. Very much recommended if you are in the area!

    Fantastic experience, nothing can prepare for what you are about to see. Huge, cavernous, art tastefully displayed and respected and the music perfectly complements everything. Amazing experience!

    One of the most amazing and beautiful things I've seen in my life. Absolutely stunning. For me, a much better experience than visiting the village nearby. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
