- Promo film for the Evoluon in Eindhoven. Grabbed it from an early Philips VLP (Laserdisc) to share it to the world. Sadly, all but the building itself is gone for more than 20 years now.
Not intended to bash the original uploaders of this film, but I like viewing it in one part.
As child my favorite theme park.
No 40 years later I m a electronics specialist.
When I see this I get an nostalgic feeling.
Time flies
I watched this on telly as a tiny child didn't really understand what it was all about , liked the singing in the background. Very much of it's time.❤
Oh my word, I'm 8 years old again... 😢 this really takes me back, I and I mean REALLY.
I remember every little thing about it, the music, the noises, the people. Wow!
Love the Evoluon! Been there many times at the end of the sixties and throughout the seventies. Still my all time favourite building. Eindhoven de Gekste 😁
Memories, memories. I used to visit this at least once a year in the late 60s, early 70s. My parents would drop me off when the museum opened and pick me back up at closing time.
An absolutely magical place - and a top place to visit for us RAF brats.
I remember a mechanical dinosaur in the lobby that would respond to sound, a machine that said coffee with different inflections, my mum finding out she was colour blind - and a very cool flight simulator.
I had a poster of Evoluon on my wall as a kid and used to draw the symbol (a sort of backwards 4 with a dot) on all of my notebooks.
They used to show this on BBC2 some mornings at 9am. I was 4 or 5 at the time and loved to watch it. I think they still have conferences there. I want to visit some day.
I visited this place more than 12 times back then, when I was young (1970-s). I simply loved it and couldn't get enough of it. Remember (almost) everything. I became a PhD in technology later but still would like to visit the Evoluon once more today...
This used to be shown regularly on bbc2 as a colour test film. I saw it so many times that I knew the music note for note.
Yes it was one of the colour trade test films when colour TV was being introduced. I was a young teenager at the time and my parents had a campervan that we used to travel around Europe in. I managed to persuade them to take a detour to Eindhoven to get to see it. All because of this film. It was a fantastic place and left quite an impression on me.
The BBC used to use this as a trade test film back in the late 60's / early 70's . Watched it many times !
Definitely remember this on BBC2 as it was in colour. they used to show it as an infill program quite often to demonstrate the value of colour telly. Most TV programmes were in Black & White then. I was 7- 8 years old at the time and I remember being fascinated by the ball smashing into pieces after bring dipped in nitrogen.
It was an egg!
I lived in Geleen, and went to AFCENT International School in 1969-1971 Canadian side. We did the class visit to the Evoluon - still remember the visit. I love this film.
Hey Mark I was at AFCENT school around the same time, I lived in Kerkrade a bus ride from School.I went to Evoluon but not a school trip.I am so glad my parents took me there.I remember the SENSTER as mentioned above.
Like Rob J I must have visited the Evoluon many times maybe 20-30 in the late 60s - early 70s, my Grandmother (Oma) lived about 3 mins away, I know every exhibit intimately, and this film brings it all back, I really miss it and would love for them to update the old concept for today's youngsters to explore, it certainly stimulated my mind, and I hope it was a worthwhile PR exercise for Philips.
I'm sure it was. Too bad the same can't be said much for the Philips of today.
My god same here science exhibits in Holland 🇳🇱 1968 so many memories 😂.
Ik heb daar 15 jaar mogen werken cq aanwezig zijn, het was geweldig
I suspect that there is more to this, as some seems to be missing? namely, the Senster. Google it! I found it a bit creepy, this Senster. Some remains are preserved, I think. what an age to live in, seems full of charm and wonder now.
Well following my post below, I did get to see it some day! Very impressive building, shame the exhibits are all gone!
the central hall and surroundings look a bit like a high tech lab of a 70s bond villain :D
Die muziek! Geweldig, je bent meteen terug in je jeugd. Wat gaaf.
i visited when i was a kid in 1988
De electronica stage die ik daar 3maanden in 1987 was erg leerzaam en leuk. Jammer dat zoiets niet meer bestaat
Het bekende Koffie stem apparaat - Jawel, dat blijft in het geheugen - het apparaat zoals te zien is hier - zo zag het er niet uit in mijn herinnering - was kleiner en werd bestuurd middels één IC (het hele circuit was vervangen door één element ).
When was this? About 1966?
Bert Haanstra?
Yes. Now people can rent it for conferences. But it still looks the same on the outside.(I,ve been there today.)
Well at least something's left at all I suppose.
Deze ken ik
