Listen to the history, present and future of the Amsterdam IJ bank

Although this is a blog written in English, as Amsterdam residents we cannot help to occasionally post articles that address the Dutch. But, these projects should be of interest to the international community, and thus we write about these on museumlab.org.
The Amsterdam Hetveem Theater has just produced an audiotour with stories of change about the history, present and future of the IJ bank west of central station. In one hour of speech, sound and music, you get stories by residents, architects, children, artists and shop owners, about the change of this part in Amsterdam that has been under construction for some time now.
It is yet another interesting example of the use of new media and the appreciation of the ‘people’, to reveil a complete mosaic of stories about our heritage, architecture and culture. Hopefully they will improve the interface and the usability in the future (more on this - nachtgeluiden! - in the future)
