It literally says in onscreen text earlier:

It's a large courthouse with a war museum also inside, hence the War Museum sign.

It has more weight than the actual shots. They used a real building to depict a fictional location. Due to an editing oversight, the real building's name appears in one shot. The fictional character in the fictional story was held in the fictional location, as indicated by the script and the supertext.
