Would you like to see the first American saber-toothed tiger? The Wagner Institute is a three-story building that contains an array of specimens, including dinosaur bones, birds and mammals, and that saber-toothed tiger. A cool fact about this museum is that it preserves some parts of the Victorian culture through its displays and architecture; this means what you some things that you see in the museum today is the same as what a person from 200 years ago saw!
