7x Museums & art spaces

From the history of a football empire to digital art, Eindhoven has a broad spectrum of museums and art spaces. Ready to soak up some culture? Then take a look at our overview!

Van Abbemuseum

Both the large collection of modern art and the experimental character of the Van Abbemuseum will leave an impression on you. Ask questions about current topics such as art and society, together with the museum, gain new insights from the carefully selected exhibitions and join the discussion during film screenings and book presentations. The surprising combination of new pieces and permanent works by Picasso, Kandinsky, El Lissitzky, and Mondriaan make the Van Abbe a must-visit museum.

PSV Museum

The Philips Stadium is located on the Frederiklaan, where PSV was founded more than a hundred years ago. In the museum, you follow the journey from a sports club for employees of Philips to an internationally renowned football club. Interactively, unique memorabilia, video images, and sound fragments take you back to the success of those days. Expand your visit with a stadium tour, take a seat in the dressing room and enter the sacred grass on which the club is still making history.

Philips Museum

Go back in time and immediately travel back to the future. Discover how Eindhoven and Philips are inextricably linked and learn how a small factory town has grown into a big city at the Philips Museum. At the location of the first light bulb factory, you will find the company's entire history, from a small Eindhoven-based factory to a world player in electronics. You can dive into historical products and innovations in the permanent exhibition and the complementary changing exhibitions.

DAF Museum

The old village square with shops, a cozy café, the garage, and a replica of the Van Doorne's office will take you back to the thirties. From Van Doorne's Automotive Factory to DAF, you can spot the ingenuity of the technical developments in the collection of trucks, trailers, and passenger cars.

MU Hybrid Art House

Combine the curiosity of MU and creators, and you will find yourself in an undefined space about what art is and what art can be. The work of new talents is an adventurous mix of digital art, design, pop culture, and new media. In modern art presented by MU, current and political issues are a central theme. Be open to merging different perspectives and engage in a visual transition.

Ton Smits Huis

This may be an odd one on the list, but it is still worth mentioning; the Ton Smits Huis. In the former studio house, you will find the artist's work called Ton Smits. His paintings and pencil sketches, together with his original cartoons for American newspapers and magazines, form the basis of the museum collection. In changing exhibitions, other artists get to be in the spotlight. Carry away with the help of Ton Smits' artistic legacy with a creative twist.

Jump from era to era with augmented reality, listen to the online audio tour via the app, or roll up your sleeves for historical activities such as archery, tree trunk canoeing, and pottery.
