Creating a Modern Media Museum

Media is omnipresent in our daily lives, but how can a museum tell this constantly evolving contemporary and increasingly digital story? This year the Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid in the Netherlands opened a new, state-of-the-art Media Museum.

Using cutting-edge techniques like facial recognition and motion tracking and offering personalised content, this new museum embraces and questions these techniques to provide visitors with an exciting digital experience to get them thinking about modern media and how they use it.
