Description:
The Botanical Museum has been functioning as an academic collection since 1919, after the inauguration of the Romanian University in Cluj. It continues and develops a part of the collections belonging to the Transylvanian Museum, which was founded starting with 1859. It is located on the groundfloor of the Botanical Institute of the Al. Borza Botanical Garden. The building was put to use in 1953, being located in the vicinity of the main entrance to the Botanical Garden.
Among its 6910 displays the Botanical Museum offers its visitors the chance to enrich their knowledge on the richness, evolution and importance of the vegetal world.
The Museum material display is done in accordance with the systematic, ecologic and economic criteria. The material is preserved through dry methods (by pressing) or is kept in its three-dimensional shape, through wet metods (in various preserving liquids) or as moulds.
The Botanical Museum is organized in two main sections:
I. The plants with economic value section;
II. The systematic arranged plants section.
