The Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision (Dutch: Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld & Geluid, or short, Beeld & Geluid) is the cultural archive and a museum located in Hilversum. The Institute for Sound & Vision collects, looks after, and provides access to over 70% of the Dutch audio-visual heritage. In total, the collection of more than 750,000 hours of [television, radio, music and film that began in 1898 and continues to grow daily,[1] makes Sound & Vision one of the largest audiovisual [archive]s in Europe. It was founded in 1997 as the Netherlands Audiovisual Archive (Dutch: Nederlands Audiovisueel Archief (NAA)), and adopted its current name in 2002.

Sound & Vision is the business archive of the national broadcasting corporations, a cultural heritage institute (providing access to students and the general public) and also a museum for its visitors. The digital television production workflow and massive digitization efforts break grounds for new services.

Sound & Vision is an experienced partner in European-funded research projects. These include or have included: P2P-Fusion, MultiMatch, PrestoSpace, VIDI-Video, LiWA Living Web Archives (Research Project), Communia, Video Active (European Research Project) [citation needed] and the streaming mobile app Radio Garden, which gives listeners access to radio stations worldwide, perhaps their best known research project.[2]

On 1 January 2022, Muziekweb merged into the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision. Muziekweb was previously affiliated with the Central Library of Rotterdam.[3][4] It has been described as "Europe's largest music collection"[5]
