What happens inside Immersivus Gallery Lisboa?
1/3
Immersivus Gallery Lisboa is a 360° projection-based immersive art space set inside the Mãe d'Água das Amoreiras Reservoir, a 19th-century stone cistern in central Lisbon. One ticket covers all three current shows, and the visit is self-paced with no fixed start times. Most visits take 1.5 to 2 hours. The thing that catches visitors off-guard most is arriving too late in the afternoon and not having enough time for the full lineup. This guide covers getting there, what to expect, entry rules, and how to make the most of your time inside.
If you want the practical version first, start here.
A 360° audiovisual experience featuring iconic Renaissance works like the Sistine Chapel ceiling, The Last Supper, and the Vitruvian Man. The atmosphere shifts noticeably between Michelangelo’s monumental style and Da Vinci’s more curious, scientific tone.
Where to find it: Dedicated showroom, confirmed at entry.
Monet’s soft landscapes transition into Klimt’s gold-toned symbolic works, including The Kiss. The contrast between the two artists is intentional, so stay through the full transition for the complete experience.
Where to find it: Dedicated show room, confirmed at entry.
A slower-paced immersive journey through ancient Egyptian civilisation using large-scale projections and sound design. The floating water platform offers one of the best viewing angles for this show.
Where to find it: Dedicated show room, confirmed at entry.
Immersivus Gallery Lisboa is best suited for children who enjoy light, colour, and large-scale immersive visuals.

Pro tip: Eat before your visit, especially if you plan to enter around the 2pm opening.
The Amoreiras area is quieter and more residential than central Lisbon, making it convenient for visiting Immersivus Gallery Lisboa.
Most visits take 1.5 to 2 hours. The visit runs shorter if you arrive late and miss full projection cycles. It runs longer if you re-watch loops or spend additional time on the floating platform.
Yes, it’s smarter to book in advance once you know your date. The current ticket is valid only for the selected day, so this isn’t a casual open-date attraction you can shift around later. Booking ahead also means you arrive with your ticket ready instead of making a last-minute decision at the venue.
Arrive 10 minutes before you plan to enter. This gives you enough time to have your ticket and ID ready and to check the current show layout at the entrance without cutting into your viewing time.
Only a small day bag. Large bags, suitcases, and oversized luggage are not allowed inside for security reasons. There is no confirmed cloakroom on site, so do not bring items you cannot carry with you.
Yes, personal handheld photography is permitted. Flash photography, tripods, and filming equipment are not allowed inside any of the projection spaces.
Yes, you can visit together as long as each person has a valid ticket for the selected date. The experience works well for small groups because it is self-paced and you don’t have to stay locked to a guide. If children are in your group, they must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Yes, particularly for children who engage with light, sound, and large-scale visuals. There are no long texts to read and no fixed schedule, which keeps the experience manageable. Children aged 0 to 3 are not permitted on the floating water platform.
No. The venue is a historic 19th-century reservoir and is not wheelchair accessible. Visitors with reduced mobility should contact the venue directly before booking.
No food or drink is available on site. The nearest option is the Amoreiras Shopping Center food court, a 5-minute walk. Alcohol is strictly prohibited at the venue.
Tuesday to Sunday, 2pm to 7pm. The gallery is closed on Mondays. Check your booking confirmation for date-specific early closures.
Immersivus Gallery Lisboa is located inside the Mãe d'Água das Amoreiras Reservoir in the Amoreiras neighbourhood, slightly hidden from the main street, so check the entrance location before arriving.

Getting there:
The current booking details point to one standard gallery entry rather than multiple public entrances, and the mistake most visitors make is arriving without their ticket or matching ID ready.
When is it busiest? The tightest window is the last part of the afternoon, when late arrivals are trying to fit all current shows in before closing.
When should you actually go? Go earlier in the 2pm–7pm window if you want enough time to see Michelangelo and Da Vinci, Monet and Klimt, and Mysterious Egypt without rushing the final room.
Pro tip: The floating water platform fills up quickly and seats cannot be reserved, so head there first if you want seated viewing.
The venue is compact enough that navigation is straightforward once you are inside. The main challenge is pacing rather than direction. Visitors who rush through a room mid-cycle miss the full effect of the 360° projection, which builds in intensity over each loop.
Show by show:
Suggested route: Start with the show you are least familiar with while your energy is highest, then move to the remaining two. Save the floating platform for any show you want to re-watch from a seated position.
Pro tip: Do not decide to only watch one room. The value of this ticket is the full lineup. Visitors who treat it as a single-room experience consistently feel it was not worth the price.
Personal handheld photography is permitted. Flash, tripods, and filming equipment are not allowed inside the projection spaces. For the best results, stand near the edge of the room where the full 360° canvas is visible, and keep screen brightness low so the projection colours read accurately in your photos.
