Description
Photograph of an interior view of the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History, ca.1920. The tiled floor holds several rows of glass cases containing mostly skeletal remains of prehistoric animals. Several large standing skeletons of animals stand at center with their heads reaching through an opening above them which reveals the second floor or displays. Men in dark suits and hats stand in the background on the right with large arching windows behind them.
