The Hiram Blauvelt Museum in Oradell, New Jersey originally held the life's collection of Mr. Blauvelt, an official in the US State Department.  He had amassed a considerable, interesting collection of natural history objects, cultural objects and "gifts of state" from his many
travels abroad.    The museum has expanded its mission in recent years (to wildlife art) but some of the orginal holdings are intact.

They can be contacted at:
Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum
705 Kinderkamack Rd.
Oradell, NJ  07675
(201) 261-0012

Good luck and season's greetings!
Shirley Albright
New Jersey State Museum
