Museums
When the Evoluon was closed, exhibits were given
to other museums in The Netherlands. Here a list of museums where parts of the Evoluon exhibit recently
have been seen.
Philips Museum Eindhoven
In Eindhoven is a museum
in one of the Philips buildings. We went to see if they were able to preserve
some displays from the Evoluon. You can find pictures here
Other Museums
Beiaardmuseum
A few exhibits from the Evoluon
that have to do with measuring time were given to the Beiaardmuseum Asten (Ostaderstraat 23,
http://www.carillon-museum.nl/,
tel 0493-691865). Most are in the depot, only this water clock from the Evoluon is part of the
permanent exhibition.

TU Delft
The big glass box that had the intricate wire system
that had many steel balls rolling in it, each taking a different course because of the many jumps and
switches in the parcours, has been seen in the Techniek Museum Delft. http://www.museum.tudelft.nl/
Jac Goudsmit has visited this museum too and filmed the machine for us!

Stoommachinemuseum
Some steam engines that were in the Evoluon can now be seen at the
Stoommachinemuseum at the Oosterdijk te Medemblik. They still work.
Planetron
The black sphere showing
the composition of atoms can now be seen at the Planetron
near Dwingeloo in Drente, and it still works.
HEIM
The Meccano machines that
could draw pictures that were in the cellar of the Evoluon have been preserved
in the Techniek Museum HEIM in Hengelo. See some pictures of them here.

These links are meant to be able to find the museums,
should you want to visit them. On the websites of these
museums there are no pictures of the ex-Evoluon machines.
