World Soil Museum

The museum is managed by the International Soil Reference and Information Centre (ISRIC), an independent, science-based foundation.

Some 80 soil monoliths are on display in the WSM, with a much larger collection (some 1000 from over 70 countries) stored and maintained in the repository.

The museum displays examples of the main (32) WRB Soil Reference Groups of the World.

The WSM plays an important role in ISRIC's educational and outreach programme, and is a founding member of the Global Soil Museum network.

[4] [5] Recent developments at ISRIC, which also hosts the ISC World Data Centre for Soils (WDC-Soils),[6] are succinctly described in a series of Annual Reports.
