Summary

A progress photo by the contractor building the new Museum of History and Technology (project no. 49210), showing the Business and Astronomy Hall. When finished the ceiling will suggest a night sky and a kneeling Egyptian (?) astronomer will be gazing up through an early telescope (?). In place now are the Egyptian columns.
