Exhibitions

Pop-up exhibition: 'Johan Eugenius: Flora Neria'

We have a pop-up exhibition at the Danish Arctic Institute which shares new knowledge about Johan Eugenius' scientific work with Greenland's plants. The exhibition's content stems from research carried out in connection with the cultural heritage project 'Field/Work in the Archive: Herbaria as Sites of Cultural Exchange', financed by the Augustinus Foundation. The project investigates the cultural meanings and the colonial past in the botanical collections at the Danish Natural History Museum. It was in connection with this project that the museum's guest researcher Martha Fleming rediscovered large parts of Johan Eugenius's notes.

The pop-up exhibition and a public program of events and lectures are produced by the Danish Natural History Museum, the Danish Arctic Institute and the Greenlandic House in Copenhagen.

The pop-up exhibition is open Monday to Thursday 9.00-16.00 and Friday 9.00-15.00 - and is free.
