Event Description
Beautiful, intensely coloured exotic flowers, exquisite illustrations by Judith Leyster and high financial speculations all enter the amazing 1630s story of the economic frenzy of buying tulip bulbs that engulfed the Dutch Golden Age. When has a flower bulb ever cost more that a house?
This illustrated lecture explores the reasons for Tulipmania and some art of the 17th century Dutch Golden Age.
