Yes, I remember those “nixies”. When you entered the building it was impossible to _not_
see them.
If you walked under them, you ended up in the restaurant.
The “do-things-yourself” museum is long gone, but the “UFO” saucer building is still
there.
When I am in the office, I can see the building, looking out the window. My work is less
than 1 km away.
I wonder if those “nixies” are still there, and if not, where they ended up …
Kees Stravers, owner of the website about the Evoluon, reports that they were scrapped
when the museum closed in 1989.
You could of course reproduce them: they aren't actual Nixie tubes but rather a set of
advertising sign type of neon lights, so any neon light craftsman could built such a
thing.
