The Akeley African Mammal Hall was very dark with luminous dioramas, bronze reliefs were over the displays.
A lot of children running around as if it were a playground.
Many visitors felt the need to make animal noises when looking at the stuffed animals.
In the Asian Mammal Hall there was more light. Over the displays there was wood carved in 'oriental' style.
Lack of dates, no sense of time.
The Hall of Asian Peoples was very colorful.
The Hall of African Peoples was very dark. There were different color backgrounds in the glass cases to signify regions of Africa. Lime green signifies grasslands, blue signifies rainforest, orange/yellow signifies desert regions.
