Europe’s largest Apple museum has opened in the Netherlands, bringing together nearly five decades of Apple products in one place while marking the company’s 50th anniversary. The museum sits at the Wall Utrecht and spreads across 2,000 square meters, giving visitors a detailed walk through Apple’s evolution from its early days to modern devices.
A timeline built through Apple products
Ed Bindels created the museum with a focus on storytelling through hardware, and he worked with volunteers to collect and restore devices, accessories, and rare materials so visitors can experience Apple’s history in a structured way. The space includes classic Macs, modern iPhones, and even working units that guests can try, which helps connect each stage of Apple’s journey in a practical way.

“For example, there is a space that shows what happened after Steve Jobs left Apple and the company went through a difficult period. Visitors then walk through a ‘Think Different’ corridor into a circular room filled with colorful iMacs.”
That transition space leads into one of the most striking highlights, a rainbow wall of iMac G3 units, which reflects Apple’s design shift and signals a turning point in the company’s direction. The museum also recreates the original garage where Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple, alongside dedicated sections for iPods and other iconic products.
Visitors can explore devices released between 1976 and 2026, with ticket prices set at €21.50 for adults, while students and children receive discounted entry.
