On this site has been erected the first section of a Museum building, in classic style, and the entire structure, when completed, will cover an area of 560 feet square, with four interior courts, to provide light for the central portions of the building. The plan provides for collections, illustrating the general history of Art and Architecture on the first floor, rooms for the illustration of the practical Arts and Sciences on the second floor, and galleries for the illustration of the history of Painting, Engraving, Etching and Decorative Art the third floor. The central portion of the building is carried one story higher than the rest, and in this the Schools of Fine Arts and of Architecture will be located.

on

The First Section of the building was completed in January, 1897, and was furnished and ready for occupancy as a Museum in May. It was opened to the public for the first time on June 2, 1897, and has remained open daily since. During the first year ending June 1, 1898, the attendance was 126,046. A second building in Bedford Park on Brooklyn av. is used as an auxiliary to the main Museum.

The Museum is open every week day from 9 A M. to 6 P. M.; Thursday and Friday evenings from 7:30 to 9:45; and on Sundays from 2 to 6 P. M. On Mondays and Tuesdays a fee of 25c. for adults and 10 cents for children is charge. All other days admission is free.
