Abstract

The biocultural collection (the collection of useful plants) consists of plant products and ethnographical objects made of plant material, mostly donated gifts to the museum or bought on market places in different parts of the world. Biocultural collections provide a unique link between botanical specimens and peoples use of plants for food, medicine, building material, clothes and ritual purposes. The biocultural collection has been photographed and the information digitized, thanks to a donation from Apothecary Povl M. Assens Foundation.
Den biokulturelle samling (samlingen af nyttige planter) består af planteprodukter og etnografiske genstande lavet af plantemateriale. Den består hovedsageligt af donerede gaver til museet eller genstande, som er købt på markedspladser i forskellige dele af verden. Biokulturelle samlinger danner en unik forbindelse mellem botaniske prøver og folks brug af planter til mad, medicin, byggemateriale, tøj og rituelle formål. Den biokulturelle samling er blevet fotograferet og oplysningerne digitaliseret takket være en donation fra Cand. Farm. Povl M. Assens Fonden.
