JAKARTA - Apple recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. As a special form of celebration, the company established the Apple Museum which is open to the public in Utrecht, Netherlands.
This museum is Apple's facility with the largest and most complete product collection in the world. In this place, visitors can see various old Apple products, both those that are still updated to the present and those that have been discontinued.
For example, visitors can see the first generation of mobile phones to laptops. They can also see devices that have been discontinued due to the development of time such as iPod.
The museum, which has an area of more than 2,000 square meters, is divided into several exhibition rooms with different themes. Visitors can see a replica of the garage owned by Steve Jobs' parents, which is the birthplace of the company.
In addition to showcasing the history of the product, this museum also explores Steve Jobs' career journey outside the company. There is a special area that displays the important period when Jobs founded the NeXT computer company.
Next, there is a 'Think Different' themed corridor that provides the philosophy behind the success of the Apple brand for decades. The museum displays thousands of products curated to provide an overview of the evolution of personal computing technology.
The establishment of this museum is the result of collaboration between businessman Ed Bindels and a team consisting of 50 expert volunteers. The team involved collectors, technicians, and historians to ensure the accuracy of data from each item on display.
The collection on display is largely derived from the acquisition of exclusive assets belonging to the former Apple Museum in Westerbork. The merging of these various collections creates a physically valuable archive for researchers of technology history.
The museum, which is located in the Proostwetering area, is scheduled to operate almost every day with a scheduled entry slot system. The museum entrance opens every 15 minutes from 10.00 to 17.00 local time.
