The Anthropological Department occupies the South Court, 
the southeast wing of the building, the East Court, the southern 
series of halls of the northeast wing, the east and south galleries 
of the East Court, the North Court, and the southern series of halls 
of the northeast wing. 
The North Court is occupied by mixed exhibits, including a 
model of the new Reichstag building in Berlin, a large series of 
musical instruments, and European and Asiatic antiquities. 
The South Court is devoted to large objects, mainly reproduc- 
tions of Central American antiquities, and a series of totem poles 
from the North Pacific Coast. 
The East Court and its alcoves contain a somewhat varied 
group of exhibits, the larger part, however, relating to the prim- 
itive inhabitants of North America. 
Hall 2 contains casts of Assyrian and Chaldaen antiquities. 
Hall 3 is filled with Egyptian antiquities, and the rest of the halls 
on the north side are occupied by collections illustrating the Eth- 
nology of Africa, Asia and the Pacific Islands. 
The southeast wing is devoted to the Ethnology of America. 
The visitor when entering Halls lo and ii, finds himself among 
collections from the Alaskan Eskimo. Passing into Hall i8 he 
encounters several cases in which are displayed articles obtained 
from the Eskimo of Labrador and Greenland; these are followed 
in turn by collections from the Indians of Alaska, the British pos- 
sessions and the United States. Halls 12 and 13 contain exhibits 
from the Northwest Coast, beginning at the southwest with South 
Alaska, and ending at the northeast with the State of Washington. 
Halls 14, 15, 16 and 17 are devoted to the ethnology and 
archaelogy of South America.
