About Eindhoven Museum
Our city: then, now, and later; that’s Eindhoven Museum. Our guiding principle is that there can be no innovation in the future without knowledge about history. Knowing where you’re from, you can envision where you want to go. The museum is made up of the preHistorisch Dorp and an extensive collection of objects from daily life and works from artists from the province of Noord-Brabant. At the moment, Eindhoven Museum doesn’t have any exposition space, but you can come across its collection at various locations in Eindhoven.
