   What did the museum do during WW2?

   What happened to the Botany museum in 1940?

   • In the early hours of 9 September 1940 the east wing of the Museum, which housed the Botany department, was hit by two incendiaries and an oil bomb. The construction of the roof itself contributed to the severe bomb damage, as the series of tunnels that ran through it acted as flues that helped to fan the flames.
