It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is one of three parts of a National Historic Landmark, the Norris, Madison, and Fishing Bridge Museums, which were funded by Laura Spelman Rockefeller's grant of $118,000.[2][3] Built 1929 - 1930, the Norris Museum is sited on a hill between the Porcelain Basin and the Back Basin of Norris Geyser Basin. Its central breezeway frames a view of the Porcelain Basin for arriving visitors. The {{convert|94|ft|m|adj=on}} by {{convert|20|ft|m|adj=on}} museum consists of two rectangular sections divided by the breezeway, which is roofed by a prominent jerkinhead gable., framed in massive logs. The pavilions to either side are of shingle-coveredframe construction on a massive stone base. A stone and concrete terrace surrounds the building.[3] A nearby comfort station is included in the National Register nomination. It was probably built in the 1930s.[3] With the construction of modern restroom facilities the one story log structure is now used as a bookstore operated by the Yellowstone Association. The museum exhibits focus on geothermal geology, features of Norris Geyser and plant and animal life in thermal areas. See also
