Linnémonumentet, Bronze statue in Humlegården, Stockholm, Sweden
The Linnémonumentet features Carl von Linné holding the Systema Naturae book, surrounded by four female figures representing botany, medicine, mineralogy, and zoology.
Swedish sculptor Frithiof Kjellberg created this monument, which was unveiled in 1885 to honor botanist Carl von Linné's contributions to scientific classification.
The statue's inauguration led to celebrations across Stockholm in 1885, with residents decorating the city streets using Linnaea flowers and floral designs.
Located in Humlegården park, the monument stands near the National Library of Sweden and remains under the management of Stockholm City Museum.
The four female figures around the central statue hold specific objects: a magnifying glass for botany, Hygeia cup for medicine, crystal for mineralogy, and butterfly for zoology.
