My brief memory of Eindhoven is from 1982 from a visit to an amazing science museum called EVOLUON which looks like a space ship. Inside there are amazing exhibitions devoted to our society and the role which science and technology play in it. There was a lot of hands on working models - great for kids (and adults!)who love to meddle with machinery. Guess there is so much more and greater technology since I was there! Love to hear from anyone who knows if this museum is still open.

    I work for the company that designed and constructed the building in the '60. The museum was closed in 1989. My company then renovated the building and extended it; it is now a conference center. See also http://www.dse.nl/~evoluon/index-e.html.
