The Göteborg Botanical Garden differs in many respects from most traditional botanical gardens on the European continent. It was conceived and planned by the municipality of Göteborg in the 1910's as a botanical garden with an extra emphasis on horticulture, and with a broad scope in the Swedish community life. It remains a public garden to this day. For a long time our garden was administered by the city of Gothenburg, but nowadays it is part of the larger Västra Götaland Region. The area in total is 175 hectares (ca 430 acres), of which most constitutes a nature reserve including our arboretum. The garden proper is about 40 hectars and we are growing something like 16,000 different species in various parts of it. Our Rock Garden is (to put it mildly) famous and has received three stars in Guide Michelin. Other fascinating parts of the garden are The Rhododendron Valley and The Japanese Glade, just to mention a few. Our Greenhouses should be pointed out too. There you will find about 4,000 various plants, including some 1,500 orchids, a remarkable travertine department and the rare Eastern Island Tree.
nova viagem a Mölndal, para visitar Gunnebo, uma reserva cultural... mais uns quilómetros em cima da bicicleta!:)
http://gunneboslott.se/index.php?id=1&L=1 Gunnebo has been named as the first cultural reservation in Western Götaland. The reservation consists of the house and other buildings as well as the gardens, parks, fields and forests, and totals 100 acres.
A small number of old Swedish breeds are kept on the farm, including Värmland sheep, blue ducks and hens from Orust. The animals are an integral part of the ecocycle philosophy, which is a characteristic feature of activities at Gunnebo.

and the Röhsska Museum
A brief introduction to the museum Sweden´s museum for Design and Decorative art has short-term exhibitions for people who are interested in shape, colour and function. At present, we are exhibiting a selection of Chinese arts and craft from our collection, dating from 2000 BC to the 20th century. We are also exhibiting 18th century furniture and tableware and design from 1851 up to today. A new exhibition of Japanese decorative arts was opened in May 2005. Temporary displays are also arranged throughout the year. There is a shop, a cafeteria and a lecture hall located within the Museum.
