Botanical Museum (Oslo)
The Botanical Museum in Oslo ( Norwegian Botanisk museum ) was founded in 1863 on the basis of the collections and herbaria by Professor Matthias Numsen Blytt (1789–1862). Until 1913 the museum was located within the Botanical Gardens in Oslo and in 1915 it moved to the current building in Oslo's Tøyen district . The initiative came from Professor Johan Nordal Fischer Wille and from Professor and Rector Waldemar Christofer Brøgger , who also co-founded the Geologisk Museum in 1917. The museum was merged with the Oslo Botanical Gardens in 1975.
In 1999 the museum became part of the Natural History Museum of the University of Oslo (UiO). The Botanical Museum is jointly responsible for the scientific collections of the University of Oslo, such as the herbaria. The museum is usually not open to the public.
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the University of Oslo, the building of the Botanical Museum was officially renamed Lid-Haus (Lids hus) on September 2nd, 2011, after the couple Dagny Tande Lid and Johannes Lid , who worked as artists and scientists in Norway were.
