Description

Since its opening in 1931, Zurich's succulent plant collection has become a center of expertise with a global reach. It combines horticultural know-how, in-depth research activities around plant heritage and herbarium, with preserved plant material, as well as solid knowledge transfer supported by a specialized library. An audience from around the world finds a haven of peace and inspiration there. All of this is the result of a long history marked by social, scientific, and technological developments. This thematic exhibition revisits this history, highlights its influence on our current practices, and considers future challenges, aiming to reflect on our own actions.
