Tulipmania at Gardens by the Bay
Like clockwork, tulips take over the Flower Dome this April for another edition of Gardens by the Bay’s annual Tulipmania. Traditional and contemporary expressions meet in the 12th iteration of the vibrant horticultural display, which pays homage to Dutch artists from past and present. It draws inspiration from the classic art of Golden Age painters like Johannes Vermeer and Rembrandt, to the expressive works of Vincent van Gogh and Piet Mondrian. Discover masterpieces like The Starry Night and Girl with a Pearl Earring as they’re reimagined through intricate floral interpretations.
The entrance of the showcase is marked by a larger-than-life Delftware Tulipiere, a popular Dutch vase design, followed by a recreation of the Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands dedicated to the European country’s arts and history. Another highlight is a replica of De Kat Windmill, the world’s last working windmill, which stands tall in the sea of colourful blooms. Aside from the floral display, be sure to also look out for the collection of Delft pottery and a boat covered in tulips that make the perfect photo spot in the trail.
