Art historian Jim Welu, PhD, Director Emeritus of the Worcester Art Museum, leads a richly illustrated tour through the world’s most beguiling flower and the 17th-century craze it inspired. Trace the tulip’s journey from Ottoman palace gardens to Dutch market stalls; step inside still-life paintings where blooms signaled wealth, status, and the fleeting nature of beauty; and unpack the famous “tulipmania” bubble—what really happened in 1636–37, what’s myth, and why it matters.
