Also food producers
Helmond and its region has always been an area where many food production companies are located. In the EDAH-Museum you get to know some of these companies. Together with these industries, the EDAH-Museum wants to develop into a regional museum of food production and distribution.
Visitors are enthusiastic
From the many reactions of visitors, you can tell that the museum appeals to them and touches them deeply. The various 'shops' provide many memories of the past, but also a great deal of appreciation for contemporary developments. Children stand around in wonderment.
They are full of praise for the hospitable reception and the guided tour by the enthusiastic, mostly former EDAH employees.
Groups of at least 10 people can visit the museum by appointment.
