Paleoartist Charles Robert Knight (18741953) stands by one of his
paintings during a 1949 exhibit in the former Natural History Museum in
Guyot Hall. Best known for his detailed reconstructions of long-extinct
animals, Knight exhibited his art in many major museums. Though Princetons
Knight collection currently is in storage, some Guyot museum displays
remain in the buildings biology and geology areas. Other artifacts,
including saber-toothed and Bengal tiger skeletons, are in Frist Campus
Center.
