«The Botanical Museum, founded in 1858 by Asa Gray and originally called the Museum of Vegetable Products, has predominantly focused on the study of "useful plants" (economic botany). The nucleus of materials was given by Sir William Hooker, the Director of the Royal Botanical Garden at Kew, and items were added erratically until the collection came under the care of George Lincoln Goodale, the first director of the museum.» Glass Flowers Exhibit
