Visit bomb-proof vaults, a cavernous library and shelves upon shelves of natural history treasures. Walk with us on this behind-the-scenes tour of the Linnean Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BF
Learn more about the Linnean Society — the learned society for taxonomy (the classification of living things) — and venture into the society's bomb-proof underground strongroom, where the priceless library, archive, and biological specimen collections of Carl Linnaeus, the ‘father of taxonomy’, are securely stored.
To book, please contact the organiser, Kathy Kiriakides.
