Institute for Sound and Vision - Hilversum, The Netherlands

Another beautiful manifestation of the beauty of the world is the extraordinary picture of Institute for Sound and Vision. It was the work of Jaap Drupsteen, the graphic artist responsible for this building-size media collage, used to be everywhere in the Netherlands. This building is his comeback. Along with architecture firm Neutelings Riedijk, he covered the façade of the massive media archive and museum with images from Dutch television, abstracted into a giant four-sided mural and baked directly onto cast glass. The effect is stunning inside and out.

Experiential Beauty: Tour the history of Dutch broadcasting, or simply gaze up at the stained glass from a table at the atrium’s Grand Café.
