Information on The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision

The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision offers access to the Museum's Experience until 9 pm.

About the Experience: 'Unique in the Netherlands and also worldwide. Nowhere else in the world is a public facility like the media experience directly linked to the archives. The youthful history of audio-visual media demands a new form of experience, and Sound and Vision focus on this in their multimedia public facility - which is provided literally on top of the archives. The link to the archives means that Sound and Vision is up-to-date and different each day. The fifteen pavilions in this media experience let you experience the way in which our image of the world is defined by the media!'
