    Staten Island MuseumStaten Island

    The Staten Island Museum traces its beginnings to 1881 when a group of 14 young naturalists on Staten Island had the foresight to pool their collections and research efforts out of a concern that “the rapid growth of the community [has already] obliterated many of our most interesting natural objects.” Their goal was to keep a record for future generations against the anticipated loss of plant and animal species and to advocate for environmental preservation long before it was fashionable to do so. The Staten Island Museum has been called a “Mini Smithsonian” because of the breadth of its collections and because it is based on a 19th-century model of creating the complete resources for a cultural education within one’s own community.
