    A military history museum interior featuring an exhibit called 'Toys & Tanks: A Model Military.' Several visitors and Civil War re-enactors in period costume are present among various military artifacts. The exhibit includes a Civil War-era cannon, a WWII jeep, war bonds poster, and various historical displays.
    A museum exhibition focused on the American Civil War era, specifically the years 1861 and 1862, as indicated by year markers on the walls. The display features period military artifacts including a dark jacket with red trim in a glass case, a fez-style hat, and various historical photographs and interpretive panels. The exhibit appears to document early Civil War military units, likely Zouave-style regiments given the distinctive uniform style on display.
    A museum exhibition displaying 19th-century military uniforms and artifacts in glass display cases. Two year labels are prominently visible — '1862' and '1863' — suggesting a chronological historical display, likely related to the American Civil War era or British military history. The right case features a Scottish Highland military uniform with tartan kilt, while the left case displays a dark naval or military frock coat.
    A framed oil painting depicting a Civil War battle scene, identified by a plaque as the 14th Regiment Brooklyn NYSM at Gettysburg. The painting shows Union soldiers in distinctive red trousers charging against Confederate forces, with smoke, a U.S. flag, and fallen soldiers visible. The painting is displayed in an ornate gold frame, likely in a museum setting.
    A military uniform displayed on a mannequin inside a glass museum case. The uniform combines a dark navy coatee with red epaulettes and trim, white cross-belts with brass fittings, and a tartan kilt with a sporran — consistent with a Scottish Highland regiment dress uniform. Brass hardware visible includes a belt plate marked 'G' and a cross-belt plate marked '19'.
    A museum display featuring a plaster cast of Abraham Lincoln's right hand, created by sculptor Leonard Volk in 1860. The hand cast is mounted on a clear acrylic stand and shows a clenched fist gripping what appears to be a sawed-off section of a broom handle. Adjacent to the cast is a cotton velvet rosette used as an ornament for President Lincoln.
    A ribbon-cutting ceremony is taking place inside what appears to be a military museum or historical exhibit. Three men are at the center of the ceremony: a civilian in a blue blazer and red shirt, a U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage, and another civilian in a gray blazer. A historical reenactor in 19th-century military uniform is visible on the left side of the frame.
    A museum exhibit focused on the year 1863, specifically themed around 'The Draft and Its Riotous Reaction,' likely referencing the Civil War-era draft riots. The display includes period weapons, armor, and informational panels about the New York City Draft Riot and related events. Artifacts are housed in glass display cases with accompanying historical photographs and text panels.
    A black leather fire bucket from the Civil War-era sloop of war USS Cumberland is displayed in a glass museum case. The bucket bears painted gold text identifying it as a relic from the ship that was sunk off Newport News, Virginia in March 1862 during a battle with the ironclad CSS Merrimac. It was presented to the New York Fire Department by Captain Drake De Kay.
    A museum display case containing a black dress shako (military hat) belonging to the 7th Regiment, New York State Militia, manufactured by John Baker of New York City. The exhibit label explains the hat's history, including its distinctive gold insignia and its use in dress uniform before the Civil War. Additional military artifacts, including what appears to be a belt buckle or epaulette, are visible in the foreground.

    A group of five performers in period Civil War-era costumes are playing traditional fife and drum music outside the New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center. The ensemble includes fife players and drummers, with both seated and standing performers arranged around a music stand. The setting appears to be an outdoor historical reenactment or commemorative event at the museum.
    A museum display case contains a Scottish Highland military uniform mounted on a mannequin torso. The uniform features a dark navy coatee with red epaulettes and trim, white cross-belts with brass plates marked '79' and 'G', and a tartan kilt with a sporran made of animal fur. This appears to be a British Army Highland regiment uniform, likely from the 79th Regiment of Foot (Cameron Highlanders), dating to the 19th century.
