The zoology museum (seen here) and the geology museum on the floor below were housed in the “new” Science Hall building on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, which opened in 1888 after the first Science Hall was destroyed by fire in 1884.

The Wisconsin Academy's second natural history cabinet was housed in the first Science Hall.
