A Botanical Christmas with Carl Linnaeus

Carl Linnaeus is the renowned Swedish botanist who is credited with binomial nomenclature, the revolutionary system of naming and grouping all living organisms that is used today. Christmas takes an intellectual turn with this exhibition in Flower Dome, which bridges the contemplative solitude of his countryside estate Hammarby with the scholarly fervour of Linnaeus’ discussion room. Botanical specimens, journals, maps, scientific illustrations, and humble tools offer a glimpse into 18th-century scientific inquiry. Plants in his garden at Hammarby, which still stands today, are replicated in this exhibition, and visitors can look forward to a picturesque landscape of delphiniums, geraniums, and salvias.
