The Amsterdam Light Festival is back—and so are our OLE Tours: an evening walk dedicated to unintentional light art.

Join The Museum of Unintentional Art (MOK) for a 1.5-hour guided stroll through Amsterdam after dark, where everyday lights, reflections and accidental compositions are elevated to the status of art. Think street lamps, illuminated windows and curious urban glow: objects never meant to be artworks, yet quietly deserving of the attention.

What to expect
During the walk, we pause regularly to “exhibit” unintentional light artworks found along the way. Each work is given a title, a short (entirely fictional) art history, and the kind of praise normally reserved for serious museums, for example the critically aclaimed masterpiece: Red Man, Green Man.

No art knowledge required, just curiosity and a willingness to look twice.

Agenda

  • Meet-up: Friday, 5:00 PM at Kadijksplein
  • Walking tour: Approx. 1.5 hours
  • Focus: Unintentional light art hidden in the city
  • Guide: MOK director Willem Dieleman
  • Includes: hot drinks from our driving museum bar
  • What to bring: Warm clothes and comfortable shoes.

This tour promises to be a modest beacon of light in the winter darkness, and a rather different way to experience Amsterdam.
