Midwest Museum of Natural History : ウィキペディア英語版 | Midwest Museum of Natural History The Midwest Museum of Natural History is a 501c3 organization located in Sycamore, Illinois. In 1875 the structure was built as the home of the Universalist Church in Sycamore. In the 1920s the building underwent dramatic changes, becoming the Sycamore Community Center, complete with basketball courts, a swimming pool, and hip hangout, Teen Town. In February 2004, this 128-year-old building was overhauled once again with a top to bottom 1.2 million dollar renovation. This included the creation of exhibit halls, classrooms, offices, collection storage, and a new roof and climate controls to help preserve Museum specimens. ==Exhibits== The Museum's primary exhibits consist of dioramas depicting the natural biomes of North America and Africa. Dioramas feature over 100 mounted animals, including one of the few--and one of the largest--elephants on display in the country. The Museum also houses a geology collection, interactive children's area, and temporary exhibits in the Rotary Exhibit Gallery and Oasis Room. Additionally, the Museum is home to a wide range of live reptiles, amphibians, fish, and arthropods. A majority of the Museum's world-class collection of mounted specimens was donated by Dr. Russell Schelkopf, a local veterinarian, entrepreneur, community leader, conservationist, and hunter.
