Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid Review

Very cool to experience, certainly fun with children

Really for children. Good for a trip to 'memory lane'.

Nice museum, plenty to do for the children and read for the parents. Some activities are more fun (for example, reading the news with autocue) when you can read well. Unfortunately, you can not set it to be slightly slower if you have dyslexia, for example.

The recognition of old programs is nice, but otherwise it is not suitable for adults. Everything looks very dated.

One of the most disappointing museums I have visited in recent years. Downright boring. There is so much more to get from the theme. What I especially missed was the theme of technology. I expected a lot of information on radios, televisions, studio equipment, recording equipment and broadcasting equipment, from the early years to the present. Instead, it seemed to be more like a children's playground. I also found many of the interactive components substandard and childish.

Really an experience to walk in once! staff is nice!

Nice museum about radio and TV. Less suitable for children, because most of them say nothing. Sometimes nice exhibitions. Extra crowded by Top 2000 cafe around Christmas. Also visited for presentations and conferences. Nice lunch cafe. Nice modern building. With parking garage.

Nice museum, but busy on Sundays so you sometimes have to wait a bit longer to do something.

The museum is more focused on children than on adults, this is fun for a family outing but not if you want to enjoy peace without children. In addition, the museum is poorly maintained.

We will come back again next spring, to view the institute extensively, and will find a day for that, with overnight stays in the neighborhood. The building has made us curious.

This museum is sick in the same bed as many of his colleagues; absolute infantilization of their mission.

The beautiful building immensely masks the nursery garden that is to present an exhibition of sixty years of television.
The level never exceeds that of a K3 performance.

Nothing about the technology of making TV, then and now, nothing. About how a broadcast or studio or broadcaster works, nothing. About how you set up a broadcaster yourself, nothing. About the reasons for existence of certain programs, or some depth, nothing. About the future, nothing, about the man on the moon, eurovision, regional TV, nothing. The successes and failures of commercial television, nothing.

About how Willem Ruis redesigned the entertainment, nothing. Just a stupid show suit.

The national pride, Philips, with its innovations in this field and starter of Dutch television, nope. Studio Irene? Nothing seen.

Replicas from, for example, a radio studio that are not at all truthful. Replicas that look completely different on their archive photos.
Walls full of household appliances that we often put in the garbage for decades, yes. You walk around in a second-hand store.

A stage to dance on like an idiot. I was so embarrassed that I had dared to introduce this museum to my company.

Youth programs get all the attention. With incoherent parafanilia.
How do you make a good talk show? How do you get a star over the floor? Why do we like to see cooking programs? Better ask the question somewhere else.

Shocking is also the 10% floor space / attention for youtube. With no better interpretation than many screens with YT films, which I have already seen, at home, for free, without having to pay 16.

Everything you ever wondered about TV and radio you will not find out here. Very disappointing.

Very nice location in terms of appearance. The museum has a very large interactive item. We were there during the Top 2000, Very busy and a lot of stairs. Did we take the elevator anyway. You can see everything in terms of image and sound. And Top2000 very TOP !!!

Lots of information about TV and Sound, very suitable and educational for a day out

Top 2000 was great, the facilities of the institute were disappointing ... After 17:00 there was no possibility to have a cup of coffee or a bite to eat.

Still very nice and super interactive. To me it seems a challenge to keep it recognizable for the younger generations in the future.

Nice things to see, but mainly an amusement park for kids

Trip down memory lane. Will come back with son in a couples of years.

Very nice informative and interactive museum for young and old. It is not super big but can easily entertain one day and probably more.

Nice interactive exhibition about media from then and now.
Nice for everyone and very nice for children.

Beautiful building and tour. Nice interactive exhibition. As a Dutchman you must have been here at least once.

we went there with school on a weekday, you can at least go right ahead.-
We thought it was a very nice day where we could do everything from recording a radio program to presenting a journal, which was great!
It was worth the effort

Wonderful museum about the history of Dutch radio and TV. Purchase a museum annual card, because here is enough for 3, 4 visits.

Had a nice day here, very modern and informative for young and old.

No museum fun for Kids otherwise little value and a lot of money

nice museum, lots to do and see. you do not have enough at 3 o'clock

Nice museum for young and old and certainly nice now that the Top 2000 museum is there!

Very nice and lots to do for kids. Find the system with the ring where you always sign up and therefore your results will be sent home genius. Have really entertained us day by day.

A lot of things didn't work. Or no image or no sound. You don't come to Sound and Vision for that.

nice. I went there often.
Have had years of pleasure.

But

Minus points of my last visit:
1: devices are slow and stuck.
2: minimal or minor change.

Positive points:
1: fun and has good potential for activites.
2: what you do and what you did become uplifted and can be sent.

Notes:
Walk in that you can look down is funny.

Good luck!.

Yesterday in image and sound a special unveiling by Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrix. It was a great experience to be allowed to be there. Her Royal Highness revealed the name of Sensoor to the "Listening Line". Unfortunately, after the unveiling in the reception room was a less pleasant sight. NL. the servant who filled the juices with glasses, always grabbed a few glasses with his fingers in the glasses. Maybe a handyman of the servant. Unfortunately it did not look fresh and tidy! Unfortunately. I was not the only one who noticed that flaw.!

Informative and fun activities for children. Also very nice for the elderly

Nice collection, lots to do for my kids, they have had a good time.

Fun to do, especially with the kids. I think you have to pay attention a bit on what day you are coming and whether it is not too bad or disappointing with the crowds. My colleagues were less fortunate in the spring, but we were lucky.

Had a very nice day here, down to memory lane, Chiel Montagne also walked around there, you could take a picture. There is a lot to do, actually you have to go multiple times to see and do everything. Very nice

Interesting and definitely worth a visit.

8.5 / 10

A great museum with a lot of exhibits and entertainment. Kids can spend a whole day here. Especially during the winter time and rainy season, it s a perfect place to visit. Adults can learn a lot here, too. Family can play a radio show, tv show, talent show or even a live music show. I found a lot of music from different ages. And with a museum card it s for free. The prices in the restaurant are fair enough.

Expensive and not very attractive. No written explanation so wait everywhere until you can put on the dirty headphones.

This is a nice museum when it is not very busy there so you can take the time to really do things, and not to be embarrassed when you present the news!

This is a fun museum for when it is less buzy, so you have more time to do each activity in peace or to embarrassed by the activities that you can do like reading the news.

Wonderful experience for parents and children, lots to do

Very nice for adults and children. My cousins, 5 and 2, were very impressed with the building.

Our son (now 10) is always having a great time there, there are twice a year, but time for an update.

Very noisy and messy. We found it very disappointing.

Great to see the series of my youth again. Great building recommended

Beautiful building inside and out. Unfortunately few lifts available for the many prams and less mobile people.

Gwn
.

Nice building and nice shop, I could warm up here with coffee. However, I was sent away, therefore 4 stars.

The setup is very nice, mainly for children but also for adults. But. Unfortunately, too many interactive parts do not work. Broken screens, loudspeakers that do not work, touchscreens that only work half way. Of course I have reported this via Messenger and later via Facebook, but two weeks later no response. Hopefully they fix it quickly. At the bottom of the line it is a nice museum if all the technology cooperates again.

A great place to have a great day for both young and old. You make memories, by recording your experience and it's sent to you afterwards. However, All footage you make during the day is in 480p (really grainy). In 2019 I'd expect the standard to be at least 1080p (Full HD). Especially for the institute in Vision and Sound?!

beautiful museum also for kids. lots of look and do possibilities

Very interesting and fun for both young and old. Recommended. ample parking in the parking garage. Eating at the restaurant located in the building is reasonable.

Pricey, slightly interactive mood is desirable ..
A bit of a messy line-up that makes children quickly away .. And hard to find again ..

Highly recommended if you're interested in Dutch radio and television history and a beautiful architecture
