Retro Audio Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on the first floor of an unassuming building in Lelystad, the Retro Audio Museum is a true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates the warm crackle of vinyl or the satisfying clunk of a physical button. This isn't a sterile, hands-off gallery; it's a vibrant collection brought to life by passionate enthusiasts. You'll find yourself surrounded by towering reel-to-reel tape recorders, iconic boomboxes, and beautifully crafted valve amplifiers from decades past. It feels less like a museum and more like stepping into the world's coolest, most organized attic.
Collection Highlights
The collection shines with landmark pieces like the classic Philips EL3585 'Casserole' radio from the 1950s and an impressive wall of vintage television sets showing their age with style. Don't miss the extensive display of transistor radios and the working recording studio equipment that lets you hear the distinct sound of different audio eras.
