    Two museum visitors — a standing woman in a white shirt with a shoulder bag and a seated elderly person in red clothing and a red cap — are viewing a large wall display of black-and-white wartime photographs.

The photographs are mounted on a dark modular shelving wall with dramatic accent lighting.
