Kasvimuseo, Botanical research building in Kluuvi, Finland.
The Kasvimuseo building houses over 3.4 million plant specimens within the Natural History Museum of the University of Helsinki botanical unit.
The museum's foundation traces to 1678 when Elias Tillandz established a botanical garden at Turku Academy, with the current building completed in 1903.
The museum contributes to Finnish academic life by supporting research projects and maintaining collections of vascular plants, mosses, and fungi specimens.
Although closed to regular public visits, the museum maintains international specimen exchanges and loans for research purposes throughout the year.
The collections expand annually by approximately 15,000 to 20,000 new specimens, with some items stored in the National Library basement.
