The Sanatorium Zonnestraal by architect Duiker is one of the earliest and most important examples of architecture of the Modern Movement. Apart from a high point in architectural history, the complex is also an important social landmark. Conceived as a follow-up colony cure tuberculosis sufferers prepare for their reintegration into society, is the brainchild of Sunbeam trade unionist Jan van Zutphen (1863-1958). His ideal is realized with money that the diamond workers union brings together the TB Patients on its members to help.Monthly tourEvery last Sunday of the month there are tours (1 ½ hour) provided by a professional guide.

In a bespoke designed park the pinnacle of Dudok's architecture dominates the Hilversum skyline. Still in full use after 90 years, the design marks the creativity and consistency of one of the world's best architects, also responsible for many other design in and around Hilversum. There is a very insightful museum in the cellar and on weekend days you can get a excellent tour around the building; including the tower.

Beeld en Geluid (The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision) has one of the largest audiovisual archives in Europe. The institute manages over 70 percent of the Dutch audiovisual heritage. The collection contains more than 850.000 hours of television, radio, music and film from the beginning in 1898 until today. Thousands of hours from this collection are made available to the public in the Sound and Vision experience, a museum located right on top of the archives. Temporary exhibitions also take place here. Visitors can read the news, be a real star on stage or act in a soap opera. Dutch radio and television personalities take visitors on a virtual tour in the world of radio and TV and give them a glimpse behind the scenes. While the kids are singing, dancing, producing or acting, parents and grandparents can sit down in an easy chair and enjoy the video and audio material from the early days of film until now.
Did the Hillywood Tour with the very friendly and enthousiastic Tim, who loves his job and everything to do with the stage and also to telling all about it; it's infectuous ???? (which in this Corona time might be an odd choice of words, but meant in the best possible way) Had a great time back stage and in the ginormous 'basement' where hundreds pieces of decor and tens of thousands props are stored. Such fun to see how things work in media land.

We went on 'monument day' in the Netherlands and a kind man told us a whole lot about the history of the church and the houses around it. They sometimes have special concerts on the organ during weekdays.
