The New York State Museum at the New York State Education Building
The New York State Museum occupied the New York State Education Building from 1912 to 1976. For almost seventy years, visitors could explore the rows of curiosities in collection cases and educational exhibitions that occupied the building's 4th and 5th floors. Popular exhibits included the Cohoes and Temple Hill Mastodons, the "Old Indian Life Groups", and a giant relief map of New York State. In 1976, the State Museum moved into its current home at the Cultural Education Center.
