Today
marks the anniversary of the groundbreaking of the Washington State
Museum (later to become the Burke Museum). This picture shows the
original museum in 1885, home to the museum's founders, the Young
Naturalists Society. At that time, the University of Washington was
still located in downtown Seattle:<br><br><a href="http://burkemuseum.blogspot.com/2010/12/burke-museum-is-125-years-old-today.html" target="_blank">http://burkemuseum.blogspot.com/2010/12/burke-museum-is-125-years-old-today.html</a><br clear="all">
