Philips Museum
The Philips Museum traces the history of Philips, the electronics giant founded in Eindhoven in 1891, from its early light bulb factory through radios, televisions, and eventually the modern technology conglomerate it became — with the company's manufacturing history literally shaping Eindhoven's identity as a city. Interactive displays and a large collection of vintage products, including some of the earliest Philips light bulbs, make the technological progression tangible.
It's a strong stop for anyone interested in industrial or design history, and gives useful context for other Eindhoven sights tied to the same corporate legacy, like Strijp-S, the former Philips factory complex turned creative district.
