It is divided into several large halls, on the second, third, and fourth floors, which are entered by a spacious stair-case, ascending directly from the street. The museum is filled with an immense number of curiosities of every description
  • galleries containing paintings, statuary, and works of art
  • an extensive ornithological collection--one of the most valuable in the United States
  • a cabinet of minerals and shells

The specimens of birds and quadrupeds, in the department of natural history, for variety, beauty, and faithfulness to nature, challenge comparison with any other in the world.
