abstract = {The Museum of the Botanic Garden, the Jagiellonian University in Cracow (the oldest Polish botanical garden founded in 1783) holds materials illustrating scientific and didactic activity of the Cracow botanical centre. In 1983, exhibition was arranged in the Garden, on the first floor of the Śniadecki Collegium. The botanical collection includes dendrological and carpological (fruits and seeds) specimens, as well as plant organs stored in liquid, gathered in the Botanic Garden or during field research of botanists in Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and the polar regions, mostly in the 19–21th centuries. Among the largest, there is the collection of Marian Raciborski (1863–1917) (Java, Indonesia, 1896–1900). Additionally, the Museum holds various materials about the history of botany. The subject of the exhibition is the history of the Cracow Botanic Garden and various tropical specimens from Africa, and Asia, as well as plants and lichens from the polar regions. Temporary exhibitions are mostly devoted to the plant motives in art. The research program focuses on the history of botany, ethnobotany, as well as the question of the relations between nature, science, and culture. Throughout the year the Museum is open to students, while normal visitors may access the Museum in time the Botanic Garden is open i.e. from April to October.},
