The upstairs area of the museum is a maze of small rooms, with each one depicting a memory from the life of Lincoln. In the background, visitors can hear the metallic sound of a clock ticking. This emphasizes the passing of time. While the moments between the gunshot and Lincoln's final breath were only a few hours, the memories that might have come to the surface in those final moments of breath were vast.
