ESKIMO HOME SCENE 

 M There are two instructive groups near the entrance to the Auditorium and underneath the 

 Stokes Mural paintings of the Land of the Midnight Sun. In one, a home scene within a snow 

 house or "igloo," an Eskimo woman is cooking blubber over the flame from a seal oil lamp, the 

 other represents an Eskimo woman fishing through the ice. The Museum is rich in Eskimo col- 

 lections 



lectures for Members of the Museum as well as lectures for school children. 

 At the entrance of the lecture hall is appropriately placed a bust of Pro- 

 fessor Albert S. Bickmore, originator of the movement that resulted in the 

 erection of the Museum, first curator, and founder of its lecture system. 



In the adjoining corridor is a collection of the principal building stones 

 of the United States, and specimens of petrified wood from the fossil forest 

 of Arizona.
