- The biggest Apple museum in Europe just opened
- It has a range of exhibits — including a big wall of iMac G3s
- Reactions from visitors have been positive so far
If you’re into your Apple tech nostalgia then you’ll be very interested in the new Apple Museum that opened in the Netherlands. It’s apparently the largest Apple museum in Europe, and features exhibits such as a wall of iMac G3s, and a replica of Steve Jobs’ garage — in which the company was born.
As 9to5Mac reports, the concisely named Apple Museum in Utrecht opened its doors to the public for the first time on April 2. The opening was timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Apple as a company, a milestone we’ve also been celebrating.
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 the Apple I and Apple II computers, a timeline of the macOS interface through the ages, and retrospectives on the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

Over on Reddit there are more photos giving you an idea of what the visiting experience is like — you’re able to film iPod commercials in which you’re the star, for example, and play the famous Oregon Trail game on an Apple II.
‘Really cool museum’

Reactions seem to be positive from those who’ve visited or just seen the pictures: one visitor describes it as a “really cool museum,” while “this is incredible” is another Reddit response that sums up the vibe.
The museum is the work of Apple Museum Foundation founder and chairman Ed Bindels, plus dozens of volunteers, and the story of the museum can be found on its website (together with plenty more pictures). There are 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 website. “That’s where it started. The first Apple computer was only a few pixels strong, but revolutionary for its time. Those few pixels have changed the world. Each development has brought us closer to the future.”
If you’re planning on visiting the museum in Utrecht yourself, it’s open from 10am to 5pm every day except Tuesdays. Admission will cost you €21.50 (about $25 / £20 / AU$35) if you’re an adult, with discounts available for students and younger people. Kids aged 9 and under get in for free.
