STOCKHOLM.- This spring the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm opens its doors on a resplendent exhibition entitled The Language of Flowers. The exhibition presents floral motifs in European art from the Renaissance up to the present day, primarily from an artistic point of view but also considering their botanical and symbolic aspects. The exhibition – comprising some 200 books oil paintings, watercolours, photographs, ceramics and glass – is a contribution to the 300th anniversary celebrations of the birth of the great Swedish botanist Linnæus (Carl von Linné).
