The image captures the architectural facade of the American Museum of Natural History, specifically the entrance to the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation, located in New York City, United States. The grand stone building features large columns, an arched entrance with a dark, ornate gate, and a banner for the Gilder Center. Inscribed text "TRUTH KNOWLEDGE" is visible above the entrance, with further dedicatory text to Theodore Roosevelt on a frieze above. Approximately 14 pigeons are perched in a linear arrangement on a dark, angled cable or overhead wire in the upper right portion of the frame, with more pigeons scattered on the building's ledges. Two sets of yellow-cased traffic lights hang from street poles; one set is centrally positioned, while another is partially visible on the left. The scene is set under a clear blue sky with light, wispy clouds. Several indistinct human figures are visible on the steps leading to the museum entrance. Bare tree branches on the right side of the frame suggest a late fall or winter season.
