Tulipmania – Part 2

At the tulips display, the tulips are surrounded by re-creations of some of popular sights from Türkiye.

Nine hot air balloons evoke the landscape of Cappadocia region with one at the entrance of Flower Dome created so that visitors can sit inside and enjoy a vantage point of the floral display below.

These include a curated exhibition of traditional Turkish art pieces in Flower Dome. These art pieces are on loan from the Turkish embassy and specially shipped from Türkiye.
Another re-creation are Safranbolu houses. At the Flower Field, visitors can step inside a house and experience what it is like to be inside an Ottoman era home with Turkish mosaic lamps, kilim rugs and windows looking out to a view of tulips.
Library of Celsus, located in Ephesus, an ancient Greek city located in present-day Western Türkiye has also been modeled as part of the display at Tulipmania 2023.
The Galata Tower, one of the oldest towers in the world and an Istanbul icon that was first built as a watch tower during the Byzantine empire.
All information are taken from the display. Tulipmania: Origins of the Tulip is on from now till 21 May 2023 at the Flower Dome. Admission charges apply.
