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.

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.
