Delve into their captivating educational models that meticulously illustrate the life cycles of non-flowering, spore-forming plants and fungi. After nearly a quarter century, these remarkable state-of-the-art teaching models make a triumphant return to the spotlight in the new exhibit, The Blaschkas at the Microscope: Lessons in Botany, within the Glass Flowers Gallery of the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Behold the timeless beauty and intricate detail of these models, which continue to enchant and educate visitors just as they did over a century ago.
