As someone passionate about science, I literally had goosebumps standing in the same space that a giant like Linnaeus once occupied. The museum is essentially a walk through the home he lived in, now decorated with artifacts that belonged to him and his wife. The designers have attempted to recreate a feel for how Linnaeus lived. Placards provide context for his work and life. His garden is adjacent and shows how he cultivated all the various species of plants so he could study them. Allow about an hour for a visit.

One of the nice places to visit in Uppsala in the summer is the Linnaeus museum and garden. Use the audio guide to walk through his house and then take a stroll around the garden, which is exclusively plans from the time Linnaeus ran the garden. The is another exhibition in the building at the back of the garden. The ticket also gives you access to a guided tour and another Linnaeus site.

Now that I know more about Linnaeus I understand the rednecks who hates science. As noble as he could be, Linnaeus was such a fancy science man, just like all those until the mid of the XX, and yet, you still need to have a privilege in order to become a scientist. The museum is boring, considering it portrays a lifestyle so different, staff people couldn't tell me whether or not there was a bathtub or where they took a bath or whatever. For me, personally, the experience was a complete disappointment. No apples falling from trees, figuratively.

Only for those interested and already familiar with the work of Linnaeus. Otherwise it's the least interesting museum and garden I've visited in Sweden. Still it's really nice that this historical place is maintained and open.

Beautiful place and full of natural history in the middle of Uppsala!

Lots of tropical plants. Well maintained.

Very nice little museum where you freely move around in Linné's old house. Carefully renovated and a big plus for the hand painted wall papers.

Every time I'm in Uppsala I must visit the gardens and just sit down on a bench and relax.

Small but nice! If you’re planning to stay in Uppsala for some time I would recommend to get their annual card which allows to visit some other Linneus places as well. They also have a small and nice shop, you can ask questions about the garden there. The ladies there are very nice and friendly.

Pretty nice.
