Eindhoven would have remained just another town in the Netherlands if Gerard and Frederick Philips had not opened their factory here. When the main factory outgrew operations, it was converted into the Philips Museum. The permanent exhibition here provides you with the story of how the company started out and became an important manufacturing unit of the world. One of the most popular attraction of the museum is the Mission Eureka multimedia tour. It is a family game about the inventions made by Philips, from the lightbulb to LED and X-ray. Another collection in the museum is that of shavers. There are more than 80 shavers here, all developed by the brand. Check out ‘The Lamp’, a theatre show that explains how the incandescent lamps were made in the company. The Phillips Museum also serves as a venue for business meetings and events.
