ETHNOLOGY BUILDING, PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
Copyright, 1900, by the Pan-American Exposition Co.
One of the handsome structures at the great Pan-American Exposition,
which is to be held in Buffalo from May 1 to Nov. 1, 1901, will be the Etlmoi
ogy building. It will contain an exhibit of unusual interest to all Americans.
Ethnology, is the science which treats of the division of mankind Into races,
their origin, distribution and relations and the peculiarities which character
ize them. At Buffalo the Ethnology building will be a veritable mine of infor
mation concerning the countries of North and South America. This will be
peculiarly appropriate for the reason that the Exposition is a Pan-American,
or All-American, event, and everything of interest concerning the various na
tions inhabiting the new world discovered by Columbus will be represented
by an interesting exhibit in Buffalo when the Exposition’s gate&open on May
1, 1901. Strange to relate, the most Interesting exhibits concerning several
countries in South America are already in this country. Peru, for example,
will send many interesting exhibits to the Pan-American Exposition and will
use her influence to have exhibited in her section the remarkable collection
of Peruvian antiquities now owned by various American museums.
