Yeah, Evoluon is a futuristic science museum in Eindhoven. Lots of really cool things to look at, including the giant neon "nixie tubes". There's a nice video in youtube that runs 20 minutes or so, showing various features of the place.

I probably saw it, but didn't take note of it, when I visited it, back in '87. Wasn't into nixies at that time. From how brightly lit, that area is, I'd say that's near the main entrance & cafeteria area, while it was still a museum.

The giant nixies were the visitor counters. I used to love going there, it was a technology showcase owned by Philips. Currently it is a conference center once the visitor rate fell below the sustainable level. There are a number of reasons why that happened, and probably in no small part because the displays did not change much. Too bad though, I have great memories going there on school trips.
