Step back in time and discover the journey of Philips, the company that put Eindhoven on the map! From lightbulbs to radios, electric toothbrushes and healthcare, it would be difficult to imagine life without this company that strives to improve our lives.

At the exact spot where Gerard Philips produced his first lightbulbs in 1891, in a small factory in central Eindhoven, is where you can find the inspiring Philips Museum. Step back in time and enjoy over 100 years of history through various exhibitions, photos, footage and collection of products and inventions from over 100 years. You’ll even get to see the very first radio from 1927 and one of the first television sets. Technophiles will love this.

Children will also love the Philips Museum with the Torchlight Treasure Hunt! They are given a UV torch to use to search for clues hidden around the museum. For a more interactive museum experience, families can participate in the Mission Eureka game. You’ll be solving puzzles, complete challenges and use top of the range iBeacon technology on iPads. Have a bite at the museum cafe and maybe even purchase something from the shop to remind you of a great day out.
