Photos from the Mendelianum exh.

, Exhibition

The scientific department for the history of biological sciences and genetics is an integral part of the Mendelianum Centre. It keeps a unique collection of ca 9 000 items and documents related to the history of genetics. The collection contains originals or unique copies of today lost archival materials and thanks to its extent and complexity it doesn´t have analogy worldwide. It is an irreplaceable source for research work in the field of genetics from Mendel to the present. The core of the collection consists of really unique holdings documenting the beginnings of genetics, especially in relation to the personality and the scientific work of the founder of genetics J. G. Mendel.
