Museum Of Economic Botany
North Terrace ADELAIDE 5000 Australia Phone: 08 8222 9263About
The Museum of Economic Botany at the Adelaide Botanic Garden opened in 1881 and has had a continuous life dedicated to the collection and interpretation of 'useful' plants. Much of the collection originally on display in 1881 has been reinstated - including hundreds of objects once thought to be lost and many more having been relegated to storage. These objects have been out of sight for the last 60 years and provide an authentic experience of a Museum of Economic Botany. At one stage there were four such Museums in Australia and many more throughout the world. Adelaide's is the only one to survive - the purpose built building intact with its collection, paint scheme and furniture.
