What You’ll Find Here
The museum is located in a historic canal house in the Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam.

It is steps away from the Anne Frank House and the Dutch Renaissance church Westerkerk.
Welcome
With approximately 700 square meters of newly-updated shop and exhibit spaces, the Amsterdam Tulip Museum is dedicated to the surprising and flamboyant history of the tulip. Interactive exhibits by local artists trace the famous flower’s journey from its origins in the foothills of the Himalayas to its arrival at the lavish court of the Ottoman Sultan Süleiman the Magnificent to its popularity in home gardens today.
Special Exhibition
The Amsterdam Tulip Museum’s Tulipmania exhibition is a visitor favorite. It explores the Dutch Golden Age, when Amsterdam was a center of trade, art, and science, and reveals how the tumultuous tulip trade led to one of history’s most infamous market crashes in the 1630s.
