The Return of The Linnaeus Apostles - An Inspirational Showcase |
| During the 18th century the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) was to inspire 17 of his scholars to travel to the far corners of the earth to document local nature and culture. Their travels covered all the continents, and they came to be known as the Linnaeus Apostles.  THE RETURN OF THE LINNAEUS APOSTLES is an exhibition and a showcase for the publication of the monumental work The Linnaeus Apostles - Global Science & Adventure in 2007. This work comprises 8 Volumes, 11 books, about 5,000 pages, and will have taken nearly 8 years to produce.In connection with the exhibition a number of special events are also arranged for organisations, the public and the media - read more below about how to book these. Although Linnaeus and some of his apostles are known internationally, several of the apostles are relatively unknown despite their global pioneering work in the service of science and mankind. The publication of their journals - several of them now made available for the very first time - will for a long time to come stimulate fresh research, new thinking and not least provide exciting reading about cultures, landscapes and people of a bygone era. The exhibition THE RETURN OF THE LINNAEUS APOSTLES gives the visitor an insight into this exhilarating world - images, texts and maps will guide the visitor on a fascinating journey not only through natural history, but also through ethnography, geography, anthropology, cartography, history, voyaging, history of the printed book… from all the continents of the world. The exhibition will be on display for brief periods all around the world in connection with current or future launchings of the publication and is open to the public. Media, museums, universities, schools and learned societies would benefit from its stimulating insights into the world and work of the Linnaeus Apostles. EXHIBITION NOW CLOSED If you are interested to know more, or exhibit this exhibition let us know - please contact IK.
