The Akeley Hall of African Mammals is named after Carl Akeley, who conceived of, designed, and collected for the hall. Akeley was a dedicated explorer, taxidermist, sculptor, and photographer who lead teams of scientists and artists on several expeditions to Africa during the first two decades of this century. The famous herd of African elephants dominates the center of the hall. Vistas of African wildlife in natural settings surround the pachyderms.
