Ed Bindels (interview): “The museum is set up in a way that when you enter, you start in the garage, which is where it all began, and it’s not so that it was their headquarters, but it tells a lot about the two people that founded Apple, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, and what the basis is of their vision behind the products. So, step-by-step we’ll tell them things about how the logo developed, about the design language they use. So, I hope when people leave this museum, they know more about Apple and if they use an Apple product they look different to that product, that’s what we hope.”

Ed Bindels (interview): “People are interested in the past. Vinyl is becoming more popular because people don’t want to have an mp3 or even a stream. They want to have a physical record nowadays. So, I think we show more than just Apple computers, that’s why I think this Apple Museum is different from any other Apple Museum in the world.”

Antonie de Kok (interview): “It was the first of its kind, so it was really new, and a very interesting fact, this was the way it was sold. So, normally a computer would have a keyboard and everything, but they just sold the motherboard, and you had to add your own keyboard and there were interfaces to connect them. So, these are unique. They are very valuable. One has just been sold for more than one million (dollars), because there are only a few left. It’s the start of Apple as we all know it now, this was the first thing they ever developed.”

Antonie de Kok (interview): “We are showing less than 10% of what we have in total, because we have a big collection. But we want the products to support the story, and we don’t want to have the products as the main star. So, they are here to tell the story, and that’s why we select only a few items.”

Antonie de Kok (interview): “It’s difficult to say because it’s like predicting the future. What I can say is as being somebody who has a big Apple heart, I do hope they will continue to be successful and to surprise us with new products.”
