5 Museums in Binnenstad That You Shouldn't Miss
Eindhoven is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, but you’d never know it from the high-tech industry and cutting-edge design it’s currently known for. If you have kids obsessed by all things wheeled, they will love the trucks at the DAF Museum.

The Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven was one of the first public museums for contemporary art to be established in Europe in 1936. The museum’s collection of around 2700 works of art includes key works and archives by Lissitzky, Picasso, Kokoschka, Chagall, Beuys, McCarthy, Daniëls and Körmeling. The museum has an experimental approach towards art’s role in society. A source of surprise, inspiration and imagination for its visitors and participants.

Great visit for a morning or afternoon, though if you want to see everything you might be busy a bit longer. The collection is varied from different times and different art movements.

3. Philips Museum
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 992 reviews
The Philips Museum is located in the center of Eindhoven, where Gerard Philips produced his first light bulbs in 1891. Here you will be taken into the story of the company. You see how Philips is constantly reinventing itself and how it plays an important role in social change with innovative technology. First with electric light, later with radio, television and the arrival of the digital age. And right now Philips is at the forefront of major changes in healthcare. Always with the aim: to improve people's lives.

Didn't go expecting a huge amount, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned and how interactive and wide-ranging the exhibits were. The museum is really well done. The cost for an adult ticket is 9euros and it took me just under 2 hours to go through the museum - I went slowly, however. The real standouts for me were hearing about Jan Zwartendijk and the thousands he saved during WW2 by giving out Curacao visas. There are some excellent stories of survivors and the quite epic journeys they took from Lithuania. I also really enjoyed the section on PSV Eindhoven and the history of this great football club. It was really interesting to see how this company has shaped so much of this city, and especially so the football club. The staff were really friendly and there is a good audio tour for the last bit. The virtual reality headsets give an interesting look into the future of urban cities and how Philips envisions us living in the future - the virtual reality headsets are super cool and would be suitable for both young and old. I can't recommend this museum enough. If in Eindhoven, make sure you take the time to visit!
