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.
