The Paley Center for Media, Broadcasting museum in Midtown Manhattan, US
The Paley Center for Media maintains a collection of 150,000 television and radio programs spanning 75 years of broadcasting history in its Manhattan location.
William S. Paley established the Museum of Broadcasting in 1975 with a two million dollar investment, opening its doors at East 53rd Street in 1976.
The center organizes screening series, festivals, and seminars throughout the year to examine social, historical, and artistic aspects of television and radio programs.
Visitors can explore the media collection from Wednesday through Sunday between noon and 6 PM, using computer stations to select programs for viewing in console rooms.
The institution holds the earliest television program in its archives, a silent film of NBC's 1939 production of The Streets of New York.

Philip Johnson created notable buildings across the United States and Europe. His works include the Glass House in New Canaan, the Seagram Building in New York, and the Puerta de Europa in Madrid. His designs combine modernism with classical elements and shape the skylines of New York, Houston, and other cities.
