💡 Tips for Visitors

Visits are by timed entry only with limited capacity, so book tickets in advance at the Art House Project ticket center. Allow 10-15 minutes for your eyes to fully adjust to the darkness—patience is essential for the full experience. The installation requires removing shoes and is not suitable for those uncomfortable with complete darkness or enclosed spaces.
