Intro

Jean-Jacques Rousseau's herbarium at the Jardin Botanique de Genève

Come and discover a scientific and aesthetic object that bears witness to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's passion for nature and botany: one of his rare portable herbariums, designed to deepen knowledge of plants and awaken a taste for botany. Will it awaken yours? Genevan philosopher and writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) devoted the last ten years of his life to the creation of portable herbariums, offered or sold to people wishing to share his love of botany. In 2024, our institution welcomed the herbarium made for the printer and bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke (1736-1798), one of only three known copies in Rousseau's hand.
