I'll be in the headquarters tomorrow and will try to find out for you.

Sorry to say that the museum is currently not available to the general public, however it may be in the future. The museum was only created recently.

That was the original color for Festo, probably before Dewalt was yellow.

So yellow was the old green.  Dewalt look out.

Couldn't resist.

Like I said, this museum didn't exist when I was there at the end of 2008. It's only been created in the last year or two. As an employee, I had to go through a security check at a vehicle stop point to gain access to the Festool grounds and then needed a security badge to enter buildings and specific sections of buildings. The museum is currently in a space that I wouldn't describe as a good place to host guests.

I could definitely see this becoming something accessible to the public at some point. I just don't know when. So, hang tight. If I hear anything, I'll let you know.
