The sepia-toned photograph depicts a large, wooden building identified as the "Biologiska Museet," or Biological Museum. The building's architecture is distinctive, featuring a tall, triangular roof covered in what appears to be wooden shingles, resembling scales. A large sign with the museum's name is prominently displayed near the peak of the roof. Below the main roof, a smaller, secondary roof creates an entrance area. An arched sign that says "ENS DJURVARLD SEDD I NATUREN" is above the entry way. Elaborate carvings surround the entrance, adding an ornate touch to the structure. A set of steps with railings leads up to the main entrance. To the right of the building, a street light stands tall, and the branches of trees are visible, framing the building against a cloudy sky. The scene is serene, with a road in the foreground suggesting the building is accessible to visitors.
