Amsterdam Tulip Museum: a flower with a trading story

The Amsterdam Tulip Museum on the Prinsengracht tells the story of the tulip, its spread and its trade. The small museum offers a focused introduction to a well-known Dutch symbol.

From plant to subject

The tulip takes centre stage as a flower and as part of a cultural history. See what explanation is given about its introduction and popularity. In this way, a familiar everyday image gains a background that goes beyond colour and shape.

Trade and tulip mania

The museum also covers the trade and tulip mania. Take time for the explanations, so that familiar terms are not left detached from their historical context. A compact museum can offer room to follow one subject attentively.

In a canal house

Tickets are available at the desk in the shop. The building has stairs; if mobility is a concern, you should ask about the options in advance. It is normally open daily, with separate closures on King’s Day and Christmas Day.

Before you go

Buy your ticket on site and, if you have limited mobility, check access within the building.
