6m-tall Trojan Horse
Step back in time with Tulipmania as it stuns with its centrepiece – the grand 6m-tall Trojan Horse. Those who have watched Troy – the 2004 film featuring Brad Pitt – will know that this majestic figure isn’t just for show; it’s a detailed homage to the legendary horse from the Battle of Troy.
