Perchance has anyone been to Eindhoven, the Netherlands?

If you have, do you have any recommendations as to what I should do/see? I've never been there before. I've have to spend about 6 hours there and back on the train and I'd like to do something other that just going to my internship interview and then coming back.

1. I liked The Open Air Museum.

"Induviduals, groups or schools can make a tour or/and take part of some special organized activites like making bread, learn how to cut wood, make wooden arrows etc etc. Also there is a possibillity for groups to stay overnight for 1 or more nights/weekend and live life like people uesed to do in prehirstoric times and in medieval times:-). At the area are old handmade wooden buildings from the ironperiode and from medieval centuries, including an inn were one can order modern food and drinks, soups or have a special diner. All can be arranged. This Historic Museum is part of the green area called Genneper Parken, in the south of Eindhoven. New at this area is an ecofarm with lots of sheeps and cows and u can buy ownmade delicious cheeses and others things."

Here's the official tourism website in English:
