Nationaal Grammofoonmuseum: music gets a machine

The Nationaal Grammofoonmuseum in Nieuwleusen traces sound reproduction through the devices behind it. The collection description ranges from phonographs and gramophones to tape recorders and jukeboxes.

Plan your visit ↗

Listening takes technique

Acoustic and electric gramophones are listed as separate items. During the explanation, it becomes interesting to see how a device produces sound and what role records or other sound carriers play in that.

More than a turntable

Microphones, players and a record collection broaden the subject. So the visit is not only about the outside of the devices, but also about recording, carriers and playback.

Planning a guided tour

Guided tours are offered at set afternoon times, lasting roughly three quarters of an hour to an hour. Ask which demonstrations or listening sessions are possible on your day.

Before you go

Outside the season, only group bookings from the stated minimum group size are possible. Confirm the start time and availability in advance; a collection does not mean daily drop-in access.
