Public Art & Sculptures

Eindhoven’s public spaces function as an expansive open-air museum, showcasing everything from mid-century bronze monuments to cutting-edge light installations. This collection features iconic landmarks like the futuristic Blob and the Flying Pins alongside the extensive sculpture garden of Stadswandelpark. Many works, particularly those on the TU/e campus and near the Philips factory sites, reflect the city’s deep-rooted history in industrial design, technology, and the legacy of the Philips family.
