Modern lobby with large windows, wooden bleacher-style seating, dark walls, and a glowing sign reading "ME WE." Yellow taxis and city buildings are visible outside through the glass entrance.

A modern building with large glass windows and dark geometric structures is shown at dusk. An American flag in red, black, and green hangs from the facade. A person pushes a stroller outside the entrance.

A museum exhibit display features black-and-white photos, text panels, and documents about American history from 1950–1979, centered around a sign reading “TRADITION and CONFLICT” with an image of the US flag on an egg.
