Museum Plantin-Moretus
Plantin's Plants
23/06/2026 – 02/08/2026
In 2026, the Museum Plantin-Moretus is celebrating the 500th birthday of Carolus Clusius (1526-1609), a doctor and botanist from the Low Countries. With that in mind, the museum is inviting you to come and see the most attractive botanical images from the 16th to the 20th centuries from its own collections. Our focus is on topics such as wild plants, trees, fungi, decorative flowers and fruit and vegetables, as seen in illustrations in old books, and the woodblocks used to print them, but also on exquisite prints and drawings from the modern era.
