The Brera Floral Herbarium

La Madonna col Bambino in gloria e i santi Bartolomeo, Giovanni Battista, Alberto e Girolamo

Do you know how many flowers exist and can you recognize them?
At the Pinacoteca di Brera you can find many different ones. If you look closely you will see that each one has its own characteristic. Draw them all and try to classify them using the dichotomous chart. Use the cartouches to classify them. Send us your drawings, the best ones will be part of the Brera Herbarium.

Materials for the activity can be picked up at the Info point of the museum (you must hand in an ID), you can also download from this link.
