The mission of the Rotterdam Radio Museum
The objective of the Rotterdam Radio Museum Foundation is to exhibit and maintain a unique collection of historical objects
radio, television, reception, communication, electronic recording and computer equipment.
Our volunteers not only take care of the presentations and demonstrations, but they also take care of the restoration, registration and documentation of the collection. New products are offered to us every week, after which they are expertly assessed and added to our collection after approval.
The Rotterdam Radio Museum foundation was founded in November 1998 by the former director of Correct, the late Mr. Harry de Jong Sr. (son of the founder of Correct and an enthusiastic technician and sailor). Together with colleague Peter Ivens (former director of Grundig Nederland) and Henk Heessels (former director of JVC Nederland) he formed the board of the Rotterdam Radio Museum Foundation until February 2014. Our volunteers from the Rotterdam Radio Museum are busy maintaining and presenting the collections almost every day and they have been working hard in recent months, because after years of being housed in the historic building, a former storage shed of the Dutch Railways, the collection of approx. 2000 radios, televisions and related electronic products can now be viewed in a new location above the Correct store at Ceintuurbaan 111 (2nd floor) in Rotterdam.
The collections of the Rotterdam Radio Museum.
Radio and sound carriers
The collection of radios covers a period of more than a century. The oldest copies were produced around 1900 in the early days of radio reception. In addition to the collection, the Rotterdam Radio Museum also shows fascinating and educational films with the theme: “Electronics development from 1880”. We are happy to make a special appointment for a visit from primary school students to plan a visit.
Television and Video
In this part of the museum you will find the only Dutch Television and Video
Museum with a wonderful overview of television and video history. Nostalgic products from the Nipkow disc, the first televisions in the Netherlands, all video recorder systems and the first consumer and professional video cameras are clearly arranged.
Computers and Telecom
Here you will find the collection of old computers and calculators that have been collected over the years. To illustrate the history of the Personal Computer, in this part of the museum you will find an interesting presentation with working models of: the Apple, Compaq, Hewlett Packard, Commodore, IBM, Philips, Tulip, etc. There are also continuously active computer games and programs from the early years of the pc.
Maritiem en Zendertechniek
For lovers of Maritime Electronics, this part of the museum offers a limited range of maritime-related electronic equipment to admire. Including professional radio transmitters and receivers, VHF radios, radar systems, rescue and navigation equipment and radio amateur transceivers. In this department you will also find a real "radio shack" of a radio amateur who is operational every weekend.
HiFi and High-End Stereo
This area of the museum shows you a collection of Hi-Fi stereo systems and High-End equipment from the absolute top audio brands, including Quad and B&O etc. Besides some professional gramophone turntables, you can also admire an extensive collection of: AKAI, Sony, TEAC and Revox tape and cassette recorders.
Schools, Groups and Companies
Children from Group: 5 of the Primary School are welcome (free of charge) for a special history lesson outside the school! They are welcomed by our employees and they receive a short presentation about the origin of radio, television, the concept of electronics and computers.
In between the tour, the students are called forward to do small experiments. The students also receive a questionnaire in which all the answers to their search can easily be found in the museum.
For secondary school students and other interested parties, such as senior groups or teams from the business community, we offer an adapted program that we can fully tailor to your wishes.
Outside the museum's regular opening hours, we also provide special presentations, unique events and special guided tours in our museum.
Our standard opening hours are:
Thursday to Sunday 13:00 - 16:00

I've never seen or heard one of those wire recorders that play the cone wire wound records that's crazy and There's a lot of old history there very nice very nice.

[@vintagestereo]

For me this was also the very first time I heard these strange machines from Edison. I also never heard a acoustic turntable before. For me this museum opened my eyes. That edison 1911 machine costed 1000 euro, that was very but very expensive for a sound what even doesn't come close to AM radio. The AC electricity we have to thank Nicola Tesla for but he invented this end 19 century and it took a while to spread it over America, Electricity was a, economical, much bigger boom than internet, personal computer and mobile phone together. When electricity was in 1930 a normal thing in big American cities many inventions followed like the vacuum cleaner, electric shaver, wasmachine, refrigerator etc etc. Because of the AC electricity amplified audio came in the world.

[@VintageStereoCollector]

Where’s Simon by the way Drew,How come his not with you filming that place

[@vintagestereo]

lately he is very busy but we will go together next time he is here

[@VintageStereoCollector]

@@vintagestereo Lots of beautiful stuff in that place Drew,I wish there’s a place like that here in United States.

[@VintageStereoCollector]

@@vintagestereo I can imagine hanging out with u drew and Simon just having good times talking about stereos all day long good stuff vintage stuff.

[@vintagestereo]

@@VintageStereoCollector I believe that there is more vintage stuff in the States as in Europe but for some reason people there don't want to sell it ore ask very high prices, I have contact with a few Americans and they all complain how difficult it is to score nice items for reasonable prices. In Canada prices are much lower as in the states. Maybe it's because Americans live in much bigger houses and they have plenty room to storage their old stuff. Dutch houses are not big and they want to get rid of their old stuff as soon as possible when they bought new stuff. Most people simply don't have the space to storage old stuff

[@vintagestereo]

@@VintageStereoCollector It's more fun when we are together and do vs testing's because we amplify each other when we hear something suprising. When I am alone, I sometimes doubt my ears weh I hear something I didn't expected, but when Simon hear the same, all doubt are gone. In the beginning of our relation, I didn't always trusted his ears. I asked him to pick up a Rotel RB-991/Rotel RC-995 set and a marantz av9000/mm9000 set. From both combinations he told me that the sound was not good but I didn't believed him. I didn't believed him because my guts told me they where good sounding. When he finally brought the 2 sets to me, I discovered that he was 100% wright and since than I trust his ears. Not that long ago I bought the Douk Audio XX-VU3( kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXaTdnmBprSdbZI&ab_channel=vintagestereo ) because sometimes when the differences are so small it's hard to say which amplifier is the better one. And because of this device I can do directly VS tests between 2 amplifiers now. Still didn't used it but in the future I will often make use of it in testing amplifiers. Most of the times it's very clear which is the best but sometimes a device like this can make a difference when you are not 100% sure. It's also nice to use it in VS testing video's.
