Tulip Museum highlights

Several exhibits in the Tulip Museum are unforgettable for visitors who don't know much about this fascinating flower family. The Tulip Mania exhibit highlights how the tulip dominated the Dutch market in the 1630s, even leading to full on economic crashes during different periods.

Tulips were influential on artists throughout history, especially among Ottomans, and you can see some of that work in detail. Additionally, you'll find certain artefacts from the bulb industry of centuries past.
