奥杜邦在西部博物馆工作近100年后，一位年轻的约翰·a. 鲁斯文向博物馆捐赠了他的第一件物品——一件蜂鸟标本. Audubon was an inspiration to Ruthven, 谁分享了这位19世纪艺术家对自然的热爱和对现实主义的严格奉献. Over the decades that followed, Ruthven would find his own fame as a wildlife artist, painting for presidents, 世界领导人和美国伟大的英雄之一——尼尔·阿姆斯特朗. 奥杜邦和鲁斯文画的稀有鸟类的例子, such as the now-extinct Great Auk, will also be on display, a dynamic blend of science and history.
