This is a small and rather quirky museum, but it's worth visiting once — and the best aspect is actually their walking tours, which transpire in many different & interesting (and sometimes really lovely) sections of Staten Island.

A strange and offbeat little museum that I stumbled into the other day out of a morbid curiousity to see the butterflies carcasses mounted on the walls.The museum itself is tiny but they have an extensive collection of ferries past and mounted butterflies and bugs on the walls. Personally I'm not that big on seeing dead bugs on the walls but to each his own.

In the back they also have the glow in the dark rocks which I rather liked and stuffed seagulls from different parts of the island. Seriously, this place is like a taxidermists dream come true.The second floor is leaves. I don't know why but if you like leaves or just want some privacy this place is for you.

FYI: for those looking to save a buck, the sign at the front said admission is free on Tuesday and Fridays from 12-2pm.

I love this place- the quintessential little museum with jars of weird animals and cases of insects...history of the ferry...a cool microscope to see all kinds of crystals and rocks super up close. Its kind of like a tini-tiny natural history museum...and they are great about renting the place for neighborhood and community meetings.
