    The Amsterdam Tulip Museum offers visitors an informative look into the history and significance of tulips in Dutch culture. Located in the Jordaan district, this small museum provides an educational experience about the tulip trade, its impact on Dutch history, and the flower's biology. Visitors appreciate the well-organized exhibits and informative displays, which cover topics from the tulip's origins to its role in the famous "Tulip Mania" of the 17th century. The museum features a collection of artwork, historical artifacts, and interactive elements that engage visitors of all ages. While some find the admission price a bit high for the museum's size, others feel it's worth the cost for the knowledge gained. The museum shop offers a variety of tulip-related souvenirs, which some visitors find enjoyable, though others consider them overpriced. The compact nature of the museum means it can be explored in about an hour, making it a good option for those with limited time. However, this brevity can also leave some visitors wanting more depth. Overall, the Amsterdam Tulip Museum provides a focused and interesting perspective on an iconic symbol of Dutch culture, though its appeal may vary depending on one's level of interest in the subject matter.

    Via een mooie grote winkel kom je in het eigenlijke museum. Aan de hand van een filmpje wordt je de herkomst van de tulp uitgelegd. De uitlopers van de Himalaya vormen de wieg van de tulp. In het Ottomaanse rijk werden ze toen gekweekt voor de paleistuinen. Eind 16e eeuw komen ze dan ook richting Holland. In het verschillende ruimtes wordt het verhaal van de tulp uitgelegd aan de hand teksten, veel plaatjes en voorwerpen. Tot slot laat een film zien hoe tegenwoordig tulpen worden geoogst, gedroogd, gepeld en verpakt. Een museum om aan te bevelen als je met buitenlandse gasten in Amsterdam bent.
    In de winkel zijn naast leuke tulpensouvenirs ook bloembollen te koop.
