Vol. 36: Phytodiversity of Rural Gardens
Old plants are a new cultural asset that must be preserved and developed. With their gardens and landscapes, open-air museums can make a personal contribution to preserving plant diversity. This volume belongs to the lectures and results of a scientific symposium that took place in May 2013 in the LWL- Open-Air museum in Detmold. It served to provide technical support for a growing model project to preserve diversity in the public gardens of Westphalia.

Creating Musems
The success story began in Scandinavia - open-air museums have been inspiring audiences for 125 years. This type of museum is still one of the most attractive forms of presentation for culture and nature. The Association of European Open Air Museums was founded in 1966 and represents around 100 museum experts from larger and national open air museums. What does this network look like and how has the association become what it represents today? What motivated the generation of founders? It is worth taking a look at the history of the association, because it also shows the development of the open-air museums in general.
