AN HOUR 
IN 
The American Museum of Natural History 
An hour is not enough in which to see the Museum, but 
some people, unfortunately, can spare no more, and this 
leaflet which notes some of the principal objects of interest 
has been prepared for their benefit. 
It would take about half an hour merely to visit all 
the halls in the order laid down, but the visitor will doubt- 
less proceed on the “skip-stop” principle, devoting the 
stops to those exhibits he — or she — finds most interesting. 
The visitor enters Memorial Hall whigh contains the 
largest known meteorite, “ Ahnighito,” -Sfktons, and the 
most singular, the “Willamette.” Another notable piece 
is the large boulder of Jadeite. Note the statue of Morris 
K. Jesup, benefactor of the Museum and for years its 
President, and on the walls busts of noted American men of 
science. Proceed to the east corridor where are maps of the 
north and south polar regions, showing the routes of famous 
explorers, and sledges that reached the north and south 
poles. 
Then take elevator to the Fourth Floor and proceed to 
the Southeast Pavilion.
