Rijksmuseum to Open Second Location in Eindhoven, Backed by ASML

Corporate backing anchors a cultural push tying the museum’s program to Eindhoven’s tech‑design identity.

Overview

  • The Rijksmuseum confirmed a second venue in Eindhoven, extending the national institution beyond Amsterdam.
  • The planned site lies in a green area on the Dommel near Eindhoven station.
  • ASML will be the main sponsor and is committing a large financial contribution, CEO Christophe Fouquet said.
