The Botany headquarters in Via La Pira 4 in Florence is a delicate space, sensitive to external agents. The collections are open to the public for research purposes only.
Starting from November 2023, the herbarium are undergoing a major digitisation project that impacts ordinary workflows: physical access to the collections and loan requests are limited.
Botany is the most delicate section of the Museum as it does not host living plants but dried plants coming from all over the world.
