Tulip mania |
|
The BBC documentary series History of the World covers the story of the tulip trade in Amsterdam, on the first original stock market of the world. Also the Tulip Mania plays a role in the documentary. Tulip mania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for bulbs of the recently introduced tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then suddenly collapsed.
Activities: Research historic and bulb field locations, filming Amsterdam stock exchange, archive research.
