Wagner Free Institue of Science was established in 1855 by William Wagner, a philanthropist, merchant and gentleman scientist. With a mission to provide free education to all who wanted to learn about the natural world, he began to offer free lectures on science in 1847 out of his home, Elm Grove, on the outskirts of Philadelphia. As his lectures became more popular, he moved it to a public hall and later to its permanent home on West Montgomery Avenue in Stanton. Designed by Philadelphia architect John McArthur, Jr., it is of the Classical Revival and Renaissance architectural style. The museum is a rare surviving example of a Victorian-era scientific society. Over 100,000 specimens are maintained there. The institute is one of the historical treasures of Philadelphia and serves as a rich educational resource for natural history and science. Its preservation of the building and collection is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. On May 17, 1989, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). On December 14, 1990, it was designated a National Historic Landmark (NHL).
