The visitor who ascends the great front stair

at once finds himself in huge and lofty cham
Der. The second story consists of galleries only.
They run all around the building. but they
are less than thirty feet wide they detract
hardly at all from the impression OF vast height
and bulk which falls upon who stands
on the first floor and gazes up into the three
great roof domes which form Its ceiling. The
inside is OF gray Indiana limestone and white
plaster, which makes an artistic contrast. Cor
responding to the three great arches in the
F1fth-ave facade three duplicate arches in
the rear wall. Two of these filled by win

one of the finest features of this probably unique
building.

with the second floor of the main Museum
building in the rear. This imposing flight Of
steps, forty-four in all, each twenty-five feet
wide, occupies nearly the entire space of the
wing before mentioned as connecting the en-
trance hall with the old Museum. On either side
of the stairway run passages lighted by win
dows, which give access to the first floor Of the
old building from the first floor of the new.
After the eye of the visitor has taken in the
stairs and the domes he begins to realize that

number of arches to support the domes These
arches spring in grand curves from wall to wall.

This central building, with which New Workers.
have long been familiar Is of red brick. and the
new entrance hall is of gray Indiana limestone.
This has produced much criticism from persons
who do not understand that when the plan on
which the Museum was begun is completed the
central building will be wholly surrounded by
more stately structures, of which the new en-
trance hall is a sample, and will be entirely hid
