History
Despite being formally founded in 1999, the museum traces its history all the way back to the 17th century. During this time upstanding university members like Carl von Linné, Olof Celsius and Jonas Alströmer donated collections of material to the museum.
Organisation
The Museum of Evolution consists of three parts: The paleontological, the botanical and the zoological part. Each part has its own building with a display hall.
