We traveled by train, north to Uppsala, from Stockholm. It seemed like quite the oxymoron to have such a dirty street sign next to this lovely garden and museum.

This place was the home and educational facility of one of the finest scientists in the world, Carl von Linné, AKA Carl Linnaeus, father of the modern system of taxonomy.
