The museum and administration building houses in its four stories, the library of 65,000 books, plant herbarium of 3,000,000 pressed specimens, classrooms, meeting-rooms, auditorium and museum exhibits. Star magnolias flower at left.

Museum exhibits draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, including a high proportion of school children. Principal permanent displays are of plant families, economic plants and plant fossils. Special exhibits follow each other throughout the year.

An 18th century building, the Snuff Mills Restaurant, stands on the Bronx River, makes an idyllic setting for luncheon meetings of garden clubs and other groups. Buildings of the New York Botanical Garden run from this early American structure to the neo-classic Museum and Conservatory buildings and the Spartan simplicity of the modern Laboratory.
