The Museum is open free to the public on every day in the year. 



The American Museum of Natural History was established in 1869 to promote the 

 Natural Sciences and to diffuse a general knowledge of them among the people, and it is in 

 cordial cooperation with all similar institutions throughout the world. The Museum 

 authorities are dependent upon private subscriptions and the dues from members for pro- 

 curing needed additions to the collections and for carrying on explorations in America and 

 other parts of the world. The membership fees are, 



Annual Members $ 10 Fellows $ 500 



Sustaining Members (annually) .... 25 Patrons 1000 



Life Members 100 Associate Benefactors 10,000 



Benefactors (gift or bequest) $50,000 



The Museum Library contains more than 60,000 volumes with a good working 

 collection of publications issued by scientific institutions and societies in this country and 

 abroad. The library is open to the public for reference daily — Sundays and holidays 

 excepted — from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. 



The Museum Publications are issued in six series: Memoirs, Bulletin, Anthropologi- 

 cal Papers, American Museum Journal, Guide Leaflets and Annu/il Report. Information 

 concerning their sale may be obtained at the Museum library. 



Guides for Study of Exhibits are provided on request by the department of public 

 education. Teachers wishing to bring classes should write or telephone the department 

 for an appointment, specifying the collection to be studied. Lectures to classes may also 

 be arranged for. In all cases the best results are obtained with small groups of children. 



Workrooms and Storage Collections may be visited by persons presenting member- 

 ship tickets. The storage collections are open to all persons desiring to examine specimens 

 for special study. Applications should be made at the information desk. 



The Mitla Restaurant in the east basement is reached by the elevator and is open 

 from 12 to 5 on all days except Simdays. Afternoon Tea is served from 2 to 5. The Mitla 

 room is of unusual interest as an exhibition hall being an exact reproduction of temple 

 ruins at Mitla, Mexico.
