From carrier to sound
With one device, follow how information is stored, read and made audible. Compare a mechanical wax cylinder with a later digital carrier without seeing technology as one straight line of development.
Design shapes operation
Devices by well-known designers show that buttons, shape and material also guide use. Ask who was meant to operate the product and which action the design made easy.
Working demonstrations
A machine in operation gives information that a silent object lacks. Pay attention to sound, speed and the actions required, and ask which parts are original or replaced.
Before you go
Individual visitors are not welcome. Book as a group; the visitor information mentions a special arrangement from five people and a maximum of 25 people. Ask in advance about price, duration and accessibility.
