Von der "Allmacht der Naturwissenschaft" war im Deutschland des 19. Jahrhunderts vielerorts die Rede - auch und gerade in den Naturhistorischen Museen, die sich nicht nur als Inbegriff der modernen Welt, sondern geradezu als Manifestation der Bildungsidee verstanden. Schon in der Humboldtzeit hatten sie als Ort gegolten, an denen der einzelne Besucher sich selbst bilden und durch diese Selbstbildung auch die Entstehung einer neuen, bürgerlichen Gesellschaft befördern könne. Seit der Jahrhundertmitte geriet dieses Modell in die Krise: Die beschleunigte Spezialisierung innerhalb der Naturwissenschaft drängte auf eine Professionalisierung der Museumsarbeit. Zugleich sahen sich die Museen nun einem Massenpublikum gegenüber, das nicht mehr ohne weiteres dem Ideal der Selbstbildung zu folgen vermochte. Die Öffentlichkeit wandelte sich - und das Museum mit ihr. Die Studie fragt nach den Etappen dieses Wandlungsprozesses, in dem sich die Popularisierung als neue und erfolgreiche Form der Wissenskommunikation etablierte. In ihr wurden kulturelle Leitbilder ausgehandelt, die den Bedürfnissen einer durch den rapiden sozialen Wandel vielfach verunsicherten Öffentlichkeit Rechnung trugen. Auf diese Weise kam den Naturhistorischen Museen eine wichtige Ordnungsfunktion innerhalb der Gesellschaft zu.

The Natural History Museum of the University of Florence, founded in 1775 by Grand-Duke Pietro Leopold, is the oldest scientific museum in Europe. With this second volume on the Botanical Collection, Florence University Press continues its series dedicated to the six Sections of the Museum. The first part of the volume recounts the birth of botanical sciences in Florence and the history of the museum collections from sixteenth century to today. Then follows the second part which describes the historical and modern Herbaria, for each of which the main events that went to their formation, the importance of the plants they contain and biographical information on those who built the collections are described. The third section expounds the other collections in the Botanical Section of the Museum, among which of particular interest are the wax models of plants and fruits, manufactured by the old Grand-ducal Ceroplastics Laboratory, the wood collection, plaster of Paris mushrooms and the eighteenth century still life paintings of fruits and vegetables by Bartolomeo Bimbi. Finally, the last part illustrates the importance that herbaria play today in modern scientific research, drawing attention to the fact that they are an archive that holds taxonomical, chorological and ecological information in function of the plants they contain, as well as historical-biographical information on the scholars who, through their efforts, built up the collections.
