Programme 2026
Open garden
Visit the Linnaeus Garden at its peak season. Join a guided tour of the garden to learn more about the plants and the history of Sweden's first botanical garden. Tours in English start at 11:30 and 15:30.
Open House in the museum
Visit the Linnaeus Museum, the home of the Linnaeus family and the working place of Linnaeus. Objects and portraits tell the story of Linnaeus’ life and times, both in private and as a scientist.
Only 30 people at a time can visit the house, so there may be some waiting time.
