This is one of many Centennial Registers signed by visitors to the 1876 Centennial International Exposition held in Philadelphia. Measuring 23″ x 20″ the behemoth volume weighs in at over 75 pounds! President Ulysses S. Grant signed the book during his visit to the exposition. The register was given to President Ford 100 years later as a Bicentennial gift in 1976.

She first was one of our guards but after one year Marie Depris found a biotope that suited her better: the museum's library. The library has 10,000 periodicals (scientific and general), more than 300,000 books and as many other documents (maps, plans, photographs, archive documents, etc.), all available for consultation. A collection spanning 15 kilometres!
"The oldest book you can find here is L’histoire entière des poissons from 1558, written by Guillaume Rondelet, but my favorite one is Richard Owen's Memoir on the Gorilla (1865). The drawing of that little gorilla sleeping! I discovered the book when I was making a selection of publications about great apes for a small exhibition in the reading room."
