Linnaeus Garden & Museum
One of Sweden's most
famous scientists, the botanist Carl
von Linné, or Carolus Linnaeus, is famous for having created the
classification system scientists still use today. Visitors interested in
the man behind the system can visit his house, which is largely
preserved in its original state, and includes items from his personal
and professional life.
