this is a turtle because it lives in water.
and works in a liquor store.

I see it says Astoria in the back there and I guess it could be the prosecco brand but…. where is this?

The Jacksons - Torture

The music video for Torture from the 1984 album Victory by The Jacksons. Song written, composed and arranged by Jackie Jackson. From The Visual Documentary by Adrian Grant: Reports appear in the New York Daily News about problems which occur during production of the Torture video at the Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens, New York.

An argument apparently breaks out between Michael and his brothers, resulting in neither Michael nor Jermaine participating in the video. Stand-ins perform Michael’s dance sequences, and a wax figure is used for close-ups

I feel like they might be using part of this set for the temporary upstairs movie theater in the museum.

Not exactly Astoria, but near enough the word ought to be spread.
