Eva: SENSE THE UNKNOWN

One of the pioneers of microbiology, Gerrit van Iterson, ensured the realisation of the greenhouses and botanical garden of Hortus Botanicus in Delft. He was very passionate about the plants and their technical aspects. This exhibition shows you the embodiment of that same passion about plants. To show the different aspects of plants, the exhibition has been divided into zones that represent the five senses. Every sense shows the different properties of plants. Besides properties that can be perceived by the senses, medical applications are also shown.
