Demystify:
This is precisely why I find it in so may museums. And the arsenic is used in bird skin and taxidermy as a preservative. Those diorama animals in the older museums are usually full of arsenic and the stuff was commonly asbestos.

Most likely,
chemicals had been around for many years. KCN was used to make
killing jars
for killing the insects to make insect collections. It is
amazing how many
schools still have such chemicals because they have not been
removed by the
school system due to expense. I taught in a school that was
built in 1929.
The amount of arsenic, arsenic compounds, mercury, antimony
compounds and many
more truly dangerous chemicals were in the storage
room-no climate control
what-so-ever. I was able to start getting these
chemicals removed in the late
90's. I am sure there are chemicals that still need
to be removed. This
scenario is too real. I see it quite often when I audit
science
labs/storerooms.
