Explore Tulip History: Amsterdam's Tulip Museum

The Tulip Museum is a compact museum that delves into the history of the tulip. While it doesn't boast a wide array of original items, it offers numerous informative panels that guide you from the tulip's beginnings in the Himalayas through its introduction to the court of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century, up to modern times. The museum also traces the tulip's arrival in the Netherlands, featuring stunning images and even a few videos on tulip history. Tickets are priced at €7.00, but those with an I amsterdam card enjoy free admission. If your interest in tulips is minimal, you might spend a quick 30 minutes here. However, for those keen to delve deeper, an hour-long visit is easily warranted, just as I did.
