No matter how many times the brochures refer to the 'sexual system' of classification, the
excitement to be had at Linnémuseet is primarily intellectual; still, botanists and vegetari-
ans will enjoy a visit to the pioneering scientist's home and workshop, where he lived with
his wife and five kids (1743-78). The adjoining Linnéträdgården ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ;

ranged according to the system he invented.
