The Amsterdam Tulip Museum is a charming little stop if you're curious about the history of tulips in the Netherlands. The self-guided tour is informative and nicely laid out, offering a glimpse into how tulips became such an iconic part of Dutch culture.
At the end of the visit, there's a small shop where you can buy flower bulbs,not just tulips, but other varieties too. It's a nice touch if you're looking for a unique souvenir or a gift for a plant lover.

Visiting this museum was a delightful and immersive experience. The exhibits beautifully showcase the history and cultural significance of tulips, with engaging displays and fascinating stories. The atmosphere is bright and inviting, and staff are friendly and helpful, making the visit even more enjoyable. Informative panels explain cultivation, trade, and symbolism in a clear, interesting way. A charming and educational stop well worth the visit.

Little little museum to illustrate a small glimpse of of what Tulip meant in time for Holland. Fee is 7 euro/ adult. Gift shop was lovely indeed. Consider it a small pit shop during a walk in the area. The bonus part is the AREA it shelf : is more quite, more elegant, more subtile compared to the chaotic central area. A little boem.

We like Tulip and would like to understand more info about Tulip. After the visit, we observed the fresh Tulip head and how the differences between them. Worth a visit if you like Tulip.

I would have preferred a little more "digital", as there were lots of writings and not so pleasant to follow. The price was not so high, for family of four it was 15 euros, but I didn't feel like I learned something... The shop on the other hand, has a lot of nice things to choose from at affordable prices.

Beautiful museum with an ingenious use of space. The front has a gift shop and you can buy an affordable ticket to the museum which is downstairs (including one room on the same level). What you get is a potted history of the tulip flower, was fascinated to learn the word is Persian in origin (Dulband) which is Tülbend (Turban) in Turkish which became Tulip when Latinized! The museum has two amazing installations, never seen anything so good in any other museum and loved the fact it is compact as most museums are exhausting to walk through. The Ottoman artwork is so lovely and love the music in the first video you can view, sounds very much like Umm Kulthum! One of the nicest locations in Amsterdam and staff are nice.

On our recent trip to Amsterdam we had a spare hour so thought we would visit this museum. It only costs €5 so this was a perfect place to go.
We were given a map explaining the order although everything was well signposted. There was a lot to learn about the tulip, how it came to Amsterdam and it's significance. We really enjoyed our visit, especially for 5 euros.
There's a lovely little gift shop as well.
