Now 



Visitors to the Museum in the late summer and 

 early fall of 1968 found a seeming state of chaos 

 with well-established exhibits being uprooted and 

 new construction underway. The result of all 

 this activity is apparent in the new look of Stanley 

 Field Hall today. Favorite "trademaric exhibits" 

 remain and an added vitality has been given with 

 the addition of two fountains and clusters of live 

 trees. Small exhibit cases and temporary displays 

 have been moved elsewhere in the Museum. 



The final impression? A more spacious, more 

 restful and more interesting gateway to the Mu- 

 seum. 



Above, left: Fountains and trees provide a hack- 

 drop for a favorite Museum exhibit, the rampant 

 dinosaur. It has been relocated and has a new 

 base. Left: In operation only a few weeks the 

 new fountains have already become favorite Mu- 

 seum resting and meeting places. 



Lively fountains greet visitors at both Museum 

 entrances since the completion of Stanley Field 

 Hall's makeover. Modern seating along walls 

 has replaced the dark wooden benches and all 

 small display cases and temporary exhibits 

 have been removed. Purpose of the new ar- 

 rangement was to eliminate a cluttered impres- 

 sion and add vitality to the hall's classic archi- 

 tecture.
