Exterior view of the north side of the United States National Museum building, now known as the Arts and Industries Building, has the redesigned entrance, which has been completely filled in with glass by architects Hornblower and Marshall, c. 1902 - 1907. A cannon can be seen to the left of the central protruding vestibule. The Syrian sarcophagus, brought to the United States in 1839, and placed outside the U.S. National Museum May 19, 1883, is visible at right. At the far right corner of the photo, a portion of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in the South Yard is visible.
