DAF Museum: cars and lorries side by side

The DAF Museum in Eindhoven brings together passenger cars, lorries and special vehicles from the brand’s history. The variety makes it well suited to comparing different design choices.

A vehicle has a job

Start with two vehicles that were clearly meant for different purposes. What differences in size, layout or finish stand out? Use the explanations to link what you see to their function, even if you have no technical background.

A brand through time

The collection covers different periods. Choose a few vehicles and see how the presentation explains the changes. Temporary exhibitions can add a further subject; check in advance what is being highlighted at the time.

On your own or with a guide

Individual visits are possible during normal opening hours. For a guided tour, make an appointment, even if you are coming with a smaller group. The museum is wheelchair friendly. Various closures apply around public holidays, and on some days in December it closes earlier.

Before you go

Check the public holiday schedule; the usual Monday closure has exceptions on Easter Monday and Whit Monday.
