The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision occupies the most striking building on the Mediapark — a coloured-glass cube designed by Jaap Drupsteen that glows like a giant television test card. Inside is the national audiovisual archive: roughly 70 percent of all Dutch broadcasting since 1945, kept in temperature-controlled storage that drops far below street level.
The public museum runs through Dutch radio, television, and online media in a series of interactive exhibits aimed at families and broadcasting nerds in equal measure. You can record yourself in a virtual studio, mix a news bulletin, and rifle through clips of decades of Dutch pop culture. Open Tuesday to Sunday; allow at least two hours.
