Amsterdam Tulip Museum: Admission Ticket

In the 17th century, a simple tulip bulb could cost the price of a bourgeois house in Amsterdam. This speculative frenzy, remembered as the “Tulipmania,” forms the heart of a fascinating story that begins in the Central Asian steppes. This botanical curiosity cabinet retraces the odyssey of a national emblem that became the driving force of Dutch economy and art. Beyond historical chronologies, the route reveals how this plant shaped the identity of the Netherlands throughout the ages. An explanatory booklet accompanies your visit to grasp all the nuances of this horticultural epic. At the end of the route, the shop offers a rigorous selection of exclusive bulbs to cultivate this living heritage yourself, thus perpetuating a secular tradition nestled on the edge of the Prinsengracht.
