Location: Naturhistorisches Museum, Reichklarastraße 1, 55116 Mainz

Finissage (closing event) and farewell to the exhibition.

Plant pictures and herbal treasures brought to light. The "Gart der Gesundheit" ("Garden of Health") of 1485 as a Mainz recipe for success.

A talk with Pia Rudolph, Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Munich

Why, of all books, did it have to be the "Gart der Gesundheit" that the exhibition "Flora – Wenn aus Wurzeln Wunder wachsen" refers to? What makes it special, where does its text come from and where do the pictures of the plants come from? Pia Rudolph takes us into the making of the work and its long-lasting influence.
