ХАРЛЕМ, НИДЕРЛАНДЫ. HAARLEM, NETHERLANDS

Haarlem is a city and municipality in the Netherlands. It is the capital of the province of North Holland and is situated at the northern edge of the Randstad, one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe. Haarlem has been the historical centre of the tulip bulb-growing district for centuries and bears its other nickname Bloemenstad (flower city) for this reason. The oldest mentioning of Haarlem dates from the 10th century. The name Haarlem or Haarloheim would therefore mean 'home on a forested dune'. In the 16th and 17th centuries many artists and craftsmen migrated to Haarlem. Haarlem's cultural life prospered, with painters like Frans Hals and Jacob van Ruisdael, the architect Lieven de Key and Jan Steen who made many paintings in Haarlem. Beer brewing is a very important industry in Haarlem. Beginning from 17th century Haarlem is a major beer producer in the Netherlands. From the 1630s until present day, Haarlem has been a major trading centre for tulips, and it was at the epicentre during tulip mania, when outrageous prices were paid for tulip bulbs. There are several museums in Haarlem. The Teylers Museum lies on the Spaarne river and is the oldest museum of the Netherlands. It owns a number of works by Michelangelo and Rembrandt. Another museum is the Frans Hals Museum of fine arts, with its main location housing Dutch master paintings, and its exhibition halls on the Grote Markt housing a gallery for modern art.
