A Visit to Linne

You may recognize Carl von Linné from the 100kr note. If you're not Swedish, you probably learned about Linneaus in school. It's the same guy. Carl von Linné was a Swedish naturalist who lived in the 18th century. He is responsible for helping to classify living things and coming up with the binomial nominclature system of naming living things. So next time you see a Taraxacum officinale or a Canis lupis familiarias, you can thank Linné. This statue is in Humlegården. To be fair, I asked these kids to look silly.
