Tulip Museum

Tulips are internationally associated with the Netherlands, so it is only fitting that Amsterdam has a museum dedicated to the national flower; the tulip museum! Learn about the history of the tulip, from its origin in Central Asia to the worldwide phenomenon it is today. Greed, desire and dedication all played their part in the flower’s development. From the gardens of the Sultans in Istanbul, the tulip became the object of unprecedented speculation in 17th-century Holland. Your visit to the museum ends with a film that not only gives you a view of the Dutch tulip fields, but also takes you on a visit to a modern tulip farm.
