This is a large natural history museum I built with exhibits pertaining to a
wide variety of themes, especially various adventurers sub-themes.  It
contains a highly detailed interior.

The master directory is here:

The exterior shots can be found here:

The architecture is a wierd combination of Paradisa, Bellville, and
downright strange.  I was influenced by both Baroque and Gothic
architecture.

The interior shots can be found here:

This shot shows a view of the main tower:

Upon entering, the visitor enters the Dinasaur exhibit. Here, various
dinausaur models can be viewed.  Note the air conditioning inlets above the
door.  Also, note the intricate arch work on the ceilling:

In the east wing, also on the ground floor, the visitor enters the arctic
exhibit.  Here, one can view examples of Polar wildlife as well as see how
the arctic is explored with special vehicles:

The west wing sports the minerals and gems exhibit.  This exhibit even
includes rocks from outer space:

On the second floor, the visitor can get a first hand look at life under the
sea.  The museum supports a well stocked aquarium with several tanks,
including one large one in the center of the exhibit that stretches clear to
the ceiling:

The third floor features the art and architecture of ancient Egypt:

At the top of the building is the Paradisa Cafe where visitors can rest up
after a hard day of investigating the museum:

(...) Brad, That's pretty amazing. It makes me want to make a history museum with space flight, castles and pirates in it. George (23 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build, lugnet.town)
