During the week leading up to the series premiere of America: The Story of Us, several landmark buildings will be transformed into scenes from America's past.

The Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons' Hotel (Wilshire Blvd. & Rodeo Dr.), at the main concourse of NYC's famed Grand Central Terminal, and Washington D.C.’s historic Union Station will feature such scenes as a log cabin, a modern city-scape, a glass-paneled palace, or buffalo roaming around the Great Plains.

The "light shows" at these locations begins Monday, April 19 and continues through Sunday, April 25.

The historical images were hand painted by ArtLumiere and created to fit the exact contours of Grand Central Terminal, and are so vibrant and clear that they give the impression the main concourse has been painted. The highly-advanced projection technology used to create the effect was invented and used exclusively by ArtLumiere, a New York-based company created by French-born artist Lucette de Rugy.

America: The Story of Us premieres April 25 at 9:00PM ET on The History Channel, and continues through Memorial Day.
