Ten exhibits about animal natural history comprise the museum's main gallery, along with a center cabinet that houses many of the museum's collections. In the Francis Room, a smaller, adjoining gallery, the Hoofs, Horns, Antlers & Claws exhibit highlights the amazing biodiversity of ungulates (hoofed animals) from around the world. Most of these exhibits are accompanied by relevant children's literature that visitors can browse through and use to guide and enrich their observations of the specimens.
