Prof. Atilio Lombardo Museum and Botanical Garden, Botanical garden and natural history museum in El Prado, Montevideo, Uruguay.

The Prof. Atilio Lombardo Museum and Botanical Garden form an educational complex with extensive plant collections organized both systematically and by ecological conditions. The site contains a research herbarium that is internationally recognized and regularly visited by scientists.

The garden was founded in 1902 and benefited early from contributions by leading botanists who built up the collection. This initial phase laid the groundwork for its development into a scientific and public institution.

The garden's name honours Atilio Lombardo, who directed it from 1940 to 1973 and organised the collections while greatly enlarging the herbarium. Its gardening school, created in 1916 for municipal staff, has offered courses to the general public since 1986. Labels on most species give the scientific and common name, natural range and botanical family.

The site is open during certain weekdays and offers visitors the option to take guided tours or explore independently. It helps to allow time to walk through the different plant sections at a relaxed pace.

The herbarium here has international registration and is used by researchers from many countries to study plant specimens. This activity makes it a key hub for botanical science across borders.
