AMSTERDAM TULIP MUSEUM




The new museum is a composition of 9 different thematic rooms distributed over 3 floors,
all describing different aspects of the history of the tulip. Each room gets a particular
spatial character connected to the specific topic through the use of material and colour.

The movement of the visitor through the sequence of different atmospheres is the element
which binds the museum together to a surprising and playful experience.The museum is entered
through the museum shop, located on the Prinsengracht.

Here, you find yourself standing in a landscape with long sandy earth coloured tables forming
a field and the shop items the flowers growing out of it. In the background, the silhouette of
a tulip farmer is working the field. Under the ceiling, hundreds of strings in different shades
of greys and blues make up a typical endless Dutch sky.
