If you’re into your Apple technology nostalgia, you’ll be very interested in the new Apple Museum that opened in the Netherlands. Apparently the largest Apple museum in Europe, it features exhibits such as a wall of iMac G3s and a replica of Steve Jobs’ garage – where the company was born.
As 9to5Mac reports, the succinctly named Apple Museum in Utrecht opened its doors to the public for the first time on April 2nd. The opening coincided with Apple’s 50th anniversary as a company, a milestone we’ve also celebrated.
There’s plenty to look at, including the aforementioned Steve Jobs garage exhibit and a wall of hundreds of colorful iMac G3 computers. Visit the museum and you can check out Apple I and Apple II computers, a timeline of the macOS interface through the ages, and retrospectives on the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

On Reddit, there are several images that give you an idea of what the visitor experience is like – for example, you can film iPod commercials in which you are the star and play the famous Oregon Trail game on an Apple II.
‘Really cool museum’

Reactions seem to be positive from those who have visited or just seen the images: one visitor describes it as a “really cool museum,” while “it’s incredible” is another Reddit response that sums up the sentiment.
The museum is the work of Apple Museum Foundation founder and chairman Ed Bindels, plus dozens of volunteers, and the history of the museum can be found on its website (along with many more photos). There is 2,000 square meters of space to get around and six different zones to visit.
“Apple is the foundation of tomorrow,” says Bindels via the museum’s website. “That’s where it all started. The first Apple computer was only a few pixels strong, but revolutionary for its time. Those few pixels have changed the world. Every development has brought us closer to the future.”
If you plan to visit the museum in Utrecht yourself, it is open from 10:00 to 17:00 every day except Tuesdays. Entry will cost you €21.50 (approx $25 / £20 / AU$35) if you’re an adult, with discounts for students and younger people. Children aged 9 and under enter for free.
