One of the seven permanent exhibitions inside the National Media Museum is the "Experience TV" gallery which explores themes such as "Who invented television and when did it begin in Britain?", "What does a vision mixer do?", "What did television sets look like in the sixties?", "Why do we have adverts on television and how much are we influenced by what we see?", and many other aspects of the development of television. The National Media Museum is part of the National Museum of Science and Industry. The museum first opened to visitors on the 16 June 1983 as “The National Museum of Photography, Film and Television”. It was renamed the “National Media Museum” on 1 December 2006. The museum’s website (http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/AboutUs.aspx National Media Museum “About Us” ) states that they “aim to be the best museum in world for inspiring people to learn about, engage with and create media”.
