The exhibition presents a cross-section of botanical and zoological works from the 15th to the 18th century, including manuscripts, incunabula, and early printed books. The exhibition at the Klementinum Gallery presents a selection of rare botanical and zoological works from the collections of the NL CR. Through historical herbals, natural history books, and their illustrations, it demonstrates how the ways in which people understood, observed, and depicted plants and animals evolved between the 15th and 18th centuries - shifting from medieval concepts of nature to the development of empirical observation. Works by prominent authors of the era have been preserved in monastic, private, and institutional libraries; their owners ranged from members of the scientific community and the aristocracy to the general public. date and time Tue—Sun 10:00—18:00
