Fantasio

About

Fantasio is the dedicated venue of the Popinstituut, located in a historic building on Prins Hendrikkade that opened on March 29, 1968. It was Amsterdam's first pop venue and hosted notable acts including Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane during the late 1960s. After being converted into a meditation center in 1969, the venue returned to its original function when the Nationaal Pop Instituut established itself at the location in 1998. Today it hosts lectures, CD presentations, master classes, concerts, and various other cultural events.
