Man, I wish I lived closer to that area, they have so much good plant places to visit up there!

Blueangel, the UNC Herbarium is more of a working herbarium rather than a museum, though open to the public. If you have a specific need of looking at the collections, it's best to call ahead. The curators, Dr. Alan Weakley and Carol Ann McCormick, are very helpful.

For a more public facility, the NC Botanical Garden is a great place to go for their displays. Right now, it's in a disarray due to construction of their Soon to be Amazing new buildings, including a much bigger and accessible Herbarium.

In any case, here's the link to NCBG, with a further link to the Herbarium, with all pertinents....top of the page, right side.
