Artifact Overview
One of a series of views of the Museum as built, this black and white drawing shows the front façade of the Museum. A reproduction of Independence Hall is at the center, but the entire building was reproduced in reverse, with the clock tower as the focal point. This concession to history serves to provide balance to the extended series of buildings which comprise the front of the Museum.
