The naturalists’ room

NAT LAB Museum

The naturalists’ room

Sala dei Naturalisti, Nat Lab Forte Inglese, Portoferraio

In the first room of the museum we find the six most important naturalists in history. Each of them is holding a phrase, a short passage or an anecdote, which distinguishes their studies and work. Here we find Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1655), Georges Louis Leclerc comte du Buffon (1707 - 1788), Carl Von Linné (1707 - 1778), Jean Baptiste de Lamark (1744 - 1829), Georges Cuvier (1769 - 1832), Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882)
