Spring in Rubens' garden
Spring brings Rubens' garden to life. At the moment, various types of tulips are blooming in turn. Other spring flowers like anemones, snowflakes, and crown imperials can also be seen. The garden is changing every day. The Rubens House celebrates spring with a season full of outdoor activities.
For the first time, you can watch spring unfold in Rubens’ garden. The unique tulips steal the show. Until about mid-May, they bloom one after another: from elegant white, bright yellow, or orange-red tulips to rare flamed and striped varieties. All with special names like Tulipa ‘Black and White’, ‘Absalon’, ‘Bacchus’, ‘Bronze Charm’, ‘Little Princes’ or ‘Rubens broken’. In addition, stately crown imperials, fiery red anemones, white spring snowflakes, and yellow and purple primroses are currently in bloom.
A season full of outdoor activities
Celebrate spring and enjoy the explosion of colours. During the activities, discover new stories about a profitable and illegal trade in tulip bulbs 200 metres from Rubens' front door. Or unwind in this green oasis in the heart of Antwerp.
