Municipal Palm House in Gliwice, Palm house in Gliwice, Poland.
Description
The Municipal Palm House in Gliwice is a greenhouse with several sections where plants and animals from different warm climates around the world live together. Each pavilion displays a different habitat with its own inhabitants, ranging from tropical forests to wetland environments.
History
The facility took shape in the 1920s, building upon older greenhouses that had been constructed decades before for botanical collections. It evolved from these early beginnings into the public destination it is today.
Culture
The name reflects the tropical plants housed here, and as visitors walk through the different sections, they encounter displays that show how various climates support their own distinct life forms. The glass structure demonstrates the relationship between environment and the species that depend on it.
Practical
Visitors should know that the building consists of several interconnected sections that are easy to explore. The grounds are designed with accessibility in mind, making it comfortable for everyone to tour.
Did you know?
One pavilion contains a large water tank with giant South American fish that visitors rarely see elsewhere. These animals are noticeably large and captivate many people who observe them for the first time.
