Preserving botanical collections is essential to supporting museum research, education, and long-term stewardship. Whether housing ferns, lycopods, bryophytes, flowering plants, or mixed herbaria, museums need storage solutions that deliver reliable protection for fragile specimens. Spacesaver’s botany cabinets are engineered specifically for museum environments, providing best-in-class preservation, security, and accessibility.
Spacesaver’s botany cabinets are designed to help museums safeguard plant specimens while supporting efficient cataloging, research, and exhibition preparation. Each cabinet allows for free circulation of air and fumigants thanks to extra space at the front and back of every compartment—an important feature for long-term botanical preservation.
All of our museum cabinets include:
