Description

With the evening ticket, the whole evening at Illuminarium is yours. Three light shows take place every evening in the courtyard of the Swiss National Museum Zurich, and one ticket gets you into all three:

  • Yuki's Arctic Christmas: Conductor Yuki and her friends celebrate Christmas in the far north and uncover a delightfully spooky secret.
  • Yuki's Pixel Zoo Jungle: a journey through the rainforests of the Congo, the Amazon and Indonesia, meeting gorillas, jaguars, sloths and macaws. Created with Zurich Zoo.
  • Art x Electronica: Paul Klee's works are brought to life as video mapping on the façades, accompanied by electronic music, lasers and disco balls.

Between shows, stay in the courtyard, grab something to eat at the Food Corner or come back later. The evening ticket gives you free entry and re-entry to the show area.

Evening ticket or individual tickets?

The evening ticket is worth it from your second show:

  • Adults: CHF 23.90 instead of CHF 29.80 for two individual tickets, or CHF 44.70 for all three shows
  • Young people (10 to 15): CHF 14.90 instead of CHF 19.80 for two individual tickets
  • Children (6 to 9): CHF 10.90 instead of CHF 13.80 for both Yuki shows
  • Children aged 5 and under: free

If you only want to see one show, book a ticket for that show for CHF 14.90 (adults).

Practical information

  • The Illuminarium light show takes place under the open sky in the courtyard of the Swiss National Museum Zurich.
  • It is a large-scale, immersive light projection displayed on the buildings and façades around the courtyard.
  • You'll stand or sit outdoors in front of this backdrop and enjoy the projections, accompanied by music, sound and narration.

Wheelchair access

  • The courtyard where the light show takes place is fully accessible, with a paved, level surface.

Visiting with a pushchair

  • The courtyard is easy to get around with adaptive buggies and pushchairs.
  • Access for families with pushchairs or rental buggies is arranged individually on site.
