Kijk en Luistermuseum has 1 rating.
The Kijk en Luistermuseum in Bennekom, Netherlands, offers an engaging experience for visitors interested in the history of audio and visual technology. This small, volunteer-run museum houses a collection of vintage radios, televisions, and other audiovisual equipment from the early 20th century to more recent times. Visitors appreciate the hands-on approach, allowing them to interact with many of the exhibits and even listen to old radio programs or watch vintage TV shows. The museum's friendly and knowledgeable staff adds value to the experience, providing insightful information about the displays. While some find the collection impressive and well-maintained, others note that the space can feel a bit cramped and the presentation could benefit from more modern, interactive displays. The museum is particularly appealing to those with a specific interest in audio-visual technology or nostalgia for past eras, but may have limited appeal for a broader audience. Despite its niche focus, many visitors find it an enjoyable and educational stop, especially for families with children or technology enthusiasts.
