Next to the Botanical Garden, located along Königin-Luise-strasse, is the Botanical Museum, which contains a vast collection of plants, as well as a fascinating display illustrating the various ways in which plants have been used by mankind, starting, for example, from funeral ornaments created with plants in Ancient Egypt. The Museum is also home to the famous “Herbarium berolinense”, an enormous volume illustrating the virtues of medicinal plants, considered one of the most exhaustive in the world.
