Galerie de Botanique, Botanical science museum in 5th arrondissement, France
The Galerie de Botanique contains eight million botanical specimens within a 3,500-square-meter building featuring two research towers for phanerogamy and cryptogamy studies.
The Rockefeller Foundation supported the construction of this Art Deco building between 1931 and 1935 as part of the National Museum of Natural History.
Scientists and researchers utilize the national herbarium stored in the upper floors to study and document plant species from around the world.
Located at 18 rue Buffon, the gallery remains closed to public visits since December 2019 but maintains its research facilities and laboratories.
A giant sequoia trunk section measuring 2.70 meters in diameter, gifted by Sequoia National Park, stands as a remarkable display piece.
