On the trail of the botanist Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach …
In June 2025, the Vienna Orchid Society organised a very special guided tour of the Natural History Museum for its members. During the tour of the herbarium ‘behind the scenes’, our members were able to see treasures that the botanist Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach had bequeathed to the NHM in Vienna in 1889. The marvellous view from the roof of the museum rounded off the afternoon.
Due to popular demand, we are planning another event in the autumn.
