  1. #Museum30 Day 30 - ‘Why Museum 30?'
    Why posting 30 things about #museums? Because museums are more than the #exhibitions people visit. Museums have many objects visitors usually don't get to see (for various reasons not because we wouldn't want to), aspects people usually wouldn't think and people wouldn't know about. The #herbarium in the #NHMLondon is one of the lesser known parts. I hope got to know 'us' a bit better. :)
    Stay curious!

  2. #Museum30 Day 26 - ‘Colleague'
    Today, I'd like to use the occasion to give a shout out to all dear #curator colleagues in #museums and #herbaria who take care of the human heritage, discover new aspects, help to interpret it, make #exhibitions happen and share the cool things to know, often with little pay and much pressure. #museodon

  3. #Museum30 Day 20 - ‘Bookshelves'
    While #herbaria are usually single sheets with pressed #plants nowadays, originally they were #books with pressed #flowers. The #NHMLondon has more than 1300 volumes of such books and collection sets. You can browse the complete dataset here: doi.org/10.5519/swp7oysf

    We featured some amazing examples from this dataset in the latest NHM blog (published today!): naturalhistorymuseum.blog/2022

  4. #Museum30 Day 17 - ‘Origin'
    The #herbarium in the #NHMLondon has actually two origins: The "original origin" are the collections of Sir Hans #Sloane: apothecary, physician, promoter of #smallpox #vaccination, #quinine use against malaria, and inventor of milk #chocolate.

    Decades later, the collections of British botanical imperial mastermind and world circumnavigator Sir Joseph #Banks were added, which laid the foundation of the main collection nowadays.
