Introduction
The Philips Museum tells the story of Philips' remarkable history in Eindhoven. Housed in the company's original light-bulb factory (built in 1891), it uses rich interactive displays to trace innovation from light bulbs to medical technology, and how Philips grew from a small light-bulb workshop into a global technology giant, a museum that combines technology and history. Philips was founded in Eindhoven by Gerard Philips in 1891, initially making carbon-filament light bulbs. The museum shows its innovation from bulbs to radios, televisions, CDs and medical devices. Interactive displays make it family-friendly, and it sits in central Eindhoven.
