2. The museum was founded or incorporated on April 13, 1870, and began building on 1874 and completed on 1888.

The two original architects were Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould, and in 1971 when the museum was expanded the architects were Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates. The style of the architecture is Gothic Revival-Style. Since 1888 the museum has expanded twenty times from its original size.
