One of my most interesting elevator rides was up to the 102nd-floor observation deck at NYC's One World Trade Center. Three walls of the car are full-length video screens that depict the development of Manhattan as you asend. You start out in the bedrock of a forested island, then pass up thru time all the way to the point of the building's construction. The elevation and chronology are displayed on the wall as you witness the changes in the surrounding landscape over the years.
Double-clicking on the video will display it full-screen
