The Dutch Connection at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY is a February flower display of spring annuals, daffodils, tulips, and more. This annual floral event comes just as Rochesterians are getting weary of cold winter days. Every year thousands of visitors flock to the museum to get a taste of the coming spring.
The display is a celebration of George Eastman’s appreciation of the tulips he saw during a 1895 trip to Holland. Eastman ordered tens of thousands of bulbs from Holland every year between 1905 and 1932. Learn more at eastman.org.
