"Setting up the Serpent columns in the National 

 Museum," a copy of a photograph in William 

 Henry Holmes's "Random Records." Judging 

 from the ceiling height, this was the second floor. 

 The material behind does not appear to represent 

 Central American anthropology, and these plaster 



casts may have been placed near the north 

 elevator before being moved into Hall 23. There 

 was some work on the exhibit halls after they 

 reopened in 1919, though it is difficult to 

 document just how much was done.
