Amsterdam Tulip Museum

The Amsterdam Tulip Museum occupies a canal house on Prinsengracht and tells the story of this flower from its origins to its place in Dutch horticultural tradition. The rooms display information about growing methods, varieties, and the plant's economic role in history.

The museum opened in 2004 to document this flower's story and the tulip market events of the 1600s. Its founders were Dutch specialists from the horticultural industry.

The name reflects the flower that has grown in Dutch soil for centuries and shaped local gardening practices. Visitors observe how this bloom became woven into the region's identity and horticultural traditions.

The museum sits on Prinsengracht in the Jordaan neighborhood and is easy to reach on foot, with enough space to explore at a relaxed pace. Visitors should know that the rooms are tight and it gets crowded during peak times.

The museum sells real bulbs that are already certified and can be legally planted in most countries. This way, visitors can grow their own flowers at home and keep a piece of Dutch gardening tradition alive.
