The audio benches are at the top of the stairs to the restaurant. Here, you can listen to various short stories (5 minutes each) about film in 3D sound. This spatial sound, accompanied by the panoramic view over the river IJ, makes for a unique experience. Whether you take the time to listen to all of the stories, or just one with a coffee between films, they will immerse you in the world of film.
