A museum centred on the visitor’s media life. The media profile will be created in the ‘Tune in’ zone in which the visitor starts. After this zone, the life in media becomes visible in five thematic spaces: Sharing, Informing, Selling, Telling and Playing. Over fifty interactive exhibits, hundreds hours of audio-visual material and many objects from media history take visitors into the media of the past, present and future.

The new Media museum is a truly unique, educational but above all inspiring journey of discovery for all visitors from about 8 years and older!
