The Linnean Society is The world's oldest active biological society. Founded in 1788, the Society takes its name from the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus whose botanical, zoological and library collections have been in its keeping since 1829.
It is a historical collection and learned society devoted to the science of natural history. Our collections and programmes bring the current challenges of the natural world, such as biodiversity loss and climate change, to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Things to see and do:
- Take part in a nature craft activity
- Family activity trail around the Society
- A display of photos, drawings and archive material telling the history of the Society
- A chance to see our exhibition 'Herbarium: Plants in a new light', striking photography by Lena Granefelt, accompanied by herbarium specimens.
