About Eindhoven
Eindhoven is the Netherlands' design and technology city, with a modern art museum, a creative quarter in old factories and Van Gogh country nearby.
Eindhoven, in the province of North Brabant, grew from a small town into a city of electronics and engineering, and is still called the City of Light. Much of the old centre was lost in the Second World War, so the city feels modern, with pedestrian shopping streets, squares such as the Markt and a long street of bars at Stratumseind. The Van Abbemuseum, a leading museum of modern art, shows contemporary art and design.
