Founded by descendants of Dutch tulip-farming families, the Amsterdam Tulip Museum offers a compact yet insightful journey through the Netherlands’ tulip history. The museum delves into the 17th-century Tulip Mania, a period when tulip bulbs commanded exorbitant prices, and traces the flower’s evolution to its current status as a multibillion-dollar industry. Housed in a central location, the museum’s exhibits provide a vivid understanding of this iconic symbol. Visitors can also explore the museum shop, which is well-stocked with unique tulip-themed gifts and rare bulbs.
