Each medium works differently

Radio, television and digital applications have different ways of conveying information. Along the route, notice what image, sound and participation each add to a message.

Joining in yourself

Interaction takes time to try things out and compare. Choose a pace at which you can follow the explanation at an installation, rather than simply moving from screen to screen.

Visiting with children

The museum gives a recommended age of eight and up and largely uses Dutch. Bear this in mind for your party and check in advance what guidance or support is needed.

Before you go

A time slot is especially important during holidays. Check extra Mondays and special closing days; use the current address on Media Parkboulevard.
