Rent a Magical Alchemy Lab for Film Shoots
in Amsterdam
The Alchemist is the fully realised laboratory of a 400-year-old alchemist, hidden inside the Beurs van Berlage in central Amsterdam, with handcrafted props, ancient books, glowing potions and mechanisms that respond to touch.
The Tactile World of The Alchemist
Every detail in this room was made by hand for the world we built. Here's some of what's in it.
A handcrafted alchemist's laboratory.
Carved wood, antique brass and weathered leather, detailed enough that the camera can sit on one tabletop for an entire scene.
Apothecary walls and shelves of curiosities.
Rows of bottled ingredients, old tools and odd artefacts, all original.
A central bookcase and ritual space.
The heart of the room, and a natural focal point for hero shots and long takes.
Atmospheric, controllable lighting.
Warm lamps, candle-like glows and pockets of shadow built into the design, ready to tune to your storyboard.
Why Productions Choose The Alchemist
It’s a fully realised magical world just ten minutes from Central Station, filled with the kind of craft and detail that can’t be built overnight. The same atmosphere that made the room internationally celebrated in immersive entertainment translates beautifully on camera.
- Fully realised magical laboratory setting
- Atmospheric apothecary and alchemy aesthetic
- Ten minutes from Amsterdam Central Station
- Rich detail that requires minimal set dressing
- Ideal for fantasy, mystery and branded shoots
Pricing Details
Renting The Alchemist for film and photo shoots starts at €1600 excl. VAT, which covers the venue buyout for your shoot day. Extra build, set dressing and longer occupancy we map out together. One thing worth flagging early: the room sits on the upper floors of a listed building, reached by 56 steps, which matters for crews carrying heavy kit.
