Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

Cropped and enlarged section of a reproduction of a facsimile of page 24 from the book Linne, Carl von: <i>Materia Medica</i> 1749, volume 1. The exhibition catalogue decribes the exhibit as an "Interleaved copy annotated in the author's own handwriting. Facsimile of page 24, No. 71. "Cinchona. Quinquina. Condam. Act. Paris, 1738," etc., together with the manuscript notes on the leaf facing page 14". The page was possibly reproduced as part of the facsimiles lent by The Linnean Society of London and exhibited in <i>Malaria section of the international celebration and exhibition : three hundredth anniversary of the first recognized use of cinchona by Europeans, 1630-1930</i> hosted by the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum in 1930.
