Vilmorin Herbarium needs your help ! (Wednesday 10 October 2018)
Vilmorin herbarium is a collection of 80 000 preserved specimen listed as historical monuments. This treasure of our heritage, which is the one and only herbarium in France that is listed and preserved, is subject to a scan by the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle. In order to complete this project, we firstly need to restore each specimen.
This task is being held since months by an outside help. To finance it and make this treasure available for everyone, a funding pot has been launched since this summer. Be part of the adventure !
