The Museum Garden's 10 metre high glasshouse, 'Plantehuset', was opened in 1901. The glasshouse was bought complete in Breslau and paid for by Conrad Mohr. Originally, it had Gothic-style cast iron detailing and an arched glass roof. The central section also had a perimeter platform (balcony), in keeping with international greenhouse architecture at the time. The glasshouse was rebuilt in the mid-20th century, including a new traditional gable roof.

The greenhouse is open for visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 12:00-14:00.
