ONLINE EXHIBITION

Order from Chaos: Linnaeus Disposes


Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist Carolus Linnaeus (also Carl von Linné, 1707–1778) was famous for sending his students around the world to explore and collect specimens. The Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation is pleased to enable new generations of Linnaeus' students to explore, collect and learn by making our spring 2002 exhibition, Order from Chaos: Linnaeus Disposes, available online at our Web site (huntbot.andrew.cmu.edu). Linnaeus devised comprehensive, consistent schemes for classifying and describing plants and animals and for assigning two-word scientific names to all species, thus laying the foundations of modern biological systematics and nomenclature. Pages of manuscripts, plant portraits, portraits of botanists and rare books from the Institute's Archives, Art Department, and Library, including the Strandell Collection of Linnaeana, highlight Linnaeus' achievements in the broader context of botany over two millennia. We invite everyone to become one of Linnaeus' students as he brings order from the chaos of early scientific thought and practice while inspiring future generations of botanists.
