    In 2004 the Botanical Museum, the Library, the Botanical Garden, the Zoological Museum, and the Geological Museum were merged and became the Natural History Museum of Denmark. The Natural History Museum is a department of the University of Copenhagen. Museum Botanicum Hauniense = C. Herbarium C is housed in temporary premises within an hour's travel outside Copenhagen until 2020 while we build a new Natural History Museum in the Botanical Gardens in Copenhagen. Please note the Danish Greenlandic collections are currently without curation, but accessible to the extent possible through our curatorial managers.
