The Eberhard EBIANUM doubles as a construction vehicle museum and a unique venue for all kinds of events.
Memories, understanding, information, experience, discoveries, and a view of the future.
Different is better than better. These feelings and thoughts guided us when we developed the Museum concept. Which adult doesn’t dream of being a child again for a while? This is where such dreams come true, for children in any case – the ideal environment for tuning into an event.
Eberhard - Pioneers yesterday. today. tomorrow.
On Saturday April 26th 2025 the EBIANUM Digger Museum the sixt scale model exhibition was held. A heavy (literally!) Dutch delegation was present and showed some exclusive custom and 3D printed (Caterpillar) scale models during this unique event!
I have again put together a large number of photos and videos to allow everyone who could not be there live to enjoy the many (Caterpillar) scale models that were shown during EBIANUM 2025.
