The Botanical Museum was built in 1919 with the status of academic collection and operates in a building located inside the Alexandru Borza Botanical Garden. It has over 6,000 exhibits. The arrangement of the exhibits was made on the basis of three principles: systematic, ecological and economic. These have been grouped into several collections:
- Collection of aromatic and spicy products
- Raw materials for heating and lighting
- Collection of medicinal plants
- Textile plant collection
- Palm tree seed collection
Among the special exhibits we can mention “the champion seed” of the seed world, weighing 16 kg from the palm tree seed collection and 450 samples, with transversal sections of both indigenous wood essences (yew, fir tree, maple, juniper, cherry tree, cotinus, walnut, larch, etc.), and exotic ones (coconut tree, eucalyptus, ebony tree, carob, cedar, camphor tree, etc.)
