If you like cars, or especially trucks, you will enjoy this museum. A great range of vehicles showing the history of DAF, with a great range of trucks. buses and of course cars. Also a small but informative display about Michelotti the car designer. Well worth a detour for a couple of hours.

Easy to find from the station, a 20 min walk. Friendly staff who were very willing to answer questions or offer additional information about the exhibits. There was a range of exhibits, some interesting ones, even for a non-car nerds! We were able to sit in the cab of a tractor unit, which was fun. Good to see a family firm that looks after its employees - look out for the range of Christmas gifts given to the staff from years gone by, fascinating! Excellent cafe with basic snacks and drinks at a reasonable price. The shop offers a variety of items, again seemed very reasonably priced.

This museum show the history of the only Truck Factory from The Netherlands DAF TRUCKS N.V.. It starts from the first workshop till today. Many truck models on display also some nice trucks from the Parijs Dakar really. Special kids area and a small shop at the end.
You can spend a nice two three hours in this museum together with your kids you can get an impression of DAF TRUCKS. We spend a lot of hours here together with the kids who like to run around and see and touch the huge trucks, but off course when you are a kid everything looks big.

I visited the place expecting something much bigger, e.g. you still have a few cars and trucks but far to be a good museum for a manufacture.
The cars are not very famous outside Netherlands and are only small cars, so is something that for a foreign is not so interesting.
The truck which is the core business of DAF, there is a few models, including old models and army models (used more by Netherlands army), 3 trucks of Dakar, but I was expecting more. Maybe more disappointed, because i was expecting more models of Dakar, once DAF have some history with this type of competition and because this is a manufacture museum.
So, pay 9 or 10 eur to visit a museum like this, I think is too much, but is my opinion.

The DAF museum describes the history of one of the few car building companies in The Netherlands, located in Eindhoven. Nowadays they only build trucks but once upon a time DAF made unique cars with a unique invention: the continuous variable transmission. The museum has many examples and well restored cars and trucks and gives insight in the development, thrive and demise of the company.

The DAF is a Dutch motor/car/vehicles company and in this museum you will find many real models (the earliest being from the 40s) which were produced and sold by them. The museum is pretty fascinating (even if you aren't a mechanical engineer or a motor fan), containing many types of vehicles, from military ones to 60s family cars. The greatest annoyance is the fact that there is no explanation or serious guide in English. At the entrance you are given (by the very welcoming and kind staff) a map and a booklet, which explains the greatest innovations to the motors evolution brought by DAF, and which I suggest to read before delving into the museum to get a grasp of what you are seeing.

An excellent museum showing the full history of the DAF vehicles - cars, trucks, buses, etc.
Some very well kept relic cars can be seen in it and it is bigger than you might think.

Visted with my partner and 15yr old. Lots of history and insight into DAF and how they have advanced over the years. Most people who think DAF think of lorries. It has much more to it than that from Armoured personel carriers to race cars it really has a lot. The old machine shop is amazing and you are allowed to walk around and hold the tools and equipment rather than it being behind barriers. The cut ways and interactive exhibits are interesting too. The lay out is simple and there is an area for young children to play too. It has an old town set up inside with a hotdog stool and a bar. If you are into vehicles of any kind then its well worth the 10 minute walk from the town center.

The DAF Museum is larger than you might think. The exhibited vehicles are very interesting and you have never seen many of them before. The collection of military and commercial vehicles is also remarkable. If you are in Eindhoven, you should not miss this museum.
For all DAF fans there are many nice souvenirs in the museum shop.
The museum is not far from Eindhoven's city center and can be reached by foot in a few minutes.
The museum features a cafeteria with a nice view of the main part of the exhibition hall.

Interesting little museum. Good history of the DAF vehicles, engineering and engines. Good place for the guys to spend a couple of hours. My husband is a car guy and he found some very interesting things to see that he had not seen before. The DAF people had invented a belt for an engine, not made of rubber, but a segmented metal belt.
