Modernization of the Rijksmuseum Auditorium: Leading AV Technology

Audiovisual setup in a historic icon

The auditorium of the Rijksmuseum is the beating heart of the museum’s business programming. Internal presentations, symposia, international press conferences, and high-end rentals follow one another at a rapid pace. We were given the honorable assignment of completely renewing the outdated audiovisual infrastructure of this unique venue and preparing it for the future.

The challenge: keeping an overview central

The existing AV installation was technically outdated and no longer met the high demands of modern speakers and organizers. The auditorium needed a future-proof, reliable, and highly flexible system that seamlessly fits the museum’s aesthetics and daily operations – without compromising the historic character of the venue.

The solution: one clear image for the entire hall

We renewed the hall’s complete core infrastructure. Modern matrix and distribution systems were chosen as the backbone, ensuring that audio and video are processed flawlessly and without interference at every event and presentation. Operation is intuitive: presenters and technicians control image and sound with a minimum of actions. And the setup is fully ready for high-quality livestreams and hybrid conferences.

One partner, from concept to support

Today, the Rijksmuseum has an auditorium that performs at the highest level. Whether it concerns an internal staff meeting or an exclusive sponsor event: the technology works intuitively and stably, and delivers impressive image and sound quality. In this way, the museum strengthens its position as a premium venue for business events, from internal meetings to international rentals.
