Sound Vision (Hilversum, The Netherlands) manages one of the largest digitised media archives in the world. We preserve our daily growing media collection as cultural heritage. We shed light on current affairs from a media-historical perspective, show how you use media to tell your story and show the influence of media on your personal life and the society.
Since the opening in 2006 of Sound Vision’s previous museum, the media world has changed at incredible speed. Media are omnipresent and everyone lives in their own media space. At Sound Vision, we welcome these developments. In 2023, we’ve opened a completely new, state-of-the-art Media Museum where the huge influence of media on our daily lives is presented in five zones that focus on five universal human needs: Share, Inform, Sell, Tell and Play.

The highly interactive exhibition is a digital playground for young users of social media but captivating audiences of all ages as well as creatively engaging them with the evolution of media.
Using techniques like face recognition, emotion recognition, motion tracking and by offering personalised content through intelligent visitor’s databases, the brand new Media Museum offers visitors insights into their media use. With the use of a Museum app and face recognition techniques, the museum visit is a very personal one - reflecting the individual way we all interact with media nowadays.
