Imperial Museum

The Imperial Museum, a grand building off Kashshi Way in Shallam, showcased the finest examples of that city's history, culture, and art.

There were currently six exhibits:

• The Ancient Treasures wing of the museum contains the broadsword wielded by Darius himself during the Ashtan-Shallam Wars.
• The Shallamese Masters Exhibit displayed paintings in chronological order, done mostly in oils and chalk.
• A black lesser dragon, preserved through taxidermy, dominated the Natural History Exhibit.
• The exhibit in honour of the Sultan was filled with crown jewels, examples of imperial dress, and even past monarchs' poetry and art.
• The gallery of religious artefacts contained a large statue of Sarapis, re-creations of the golden apple, and other strange and ancient items.
• The Church memorial hall contained relics recovered from the old basilica, as well as historical art evocative of the Church era.

Oghma, the curator, resided in a dusty office tucked away at the back of the Museum.
