Welcome to Eindhoven Museum
Eindhoven Museum cares for 23,000 historical objects from the Eindhoven area. An archive that provides a unique view on the city’s cultural-historical development. The collection consists of paintings, statues, household items, tools, clothes, and much more. From Brabantine traditional clothing up to a clean room suit from chip maker ASML. This varied collection is the best kept memory of Eindhoven!
The collection is currently not on display in a museum but can be viewed online . It’s also possible to book a guided tour in the museum depot.
Eindhoven Museum is part of the foundation Stichting Eindhoven Museum, which also encompasses the preHistorisch Dorp. The preHistorisch Dorp is a historical open-air museum and tells the story about the period from 13,000 years ago up to the late Middle Ages. Eindhoven Museum, on the other hand, tells the story of Eindhoven’s modern history by means of a collection of objects. At the preHistorisch Dorp location, we are working together on the development of Museumpark Vonk: a museum that highlights important moments in the history of both the city and the region, from prehistoric times until present day.
