Magic in the Making Exhibit
Allied Faction: Unknown
Allied Groups: Unknown
Location Type: Public Space
Grid Locale: Pikarigaoka, Penguin Park, Penguin Park - Museum
A temporary exhibit taking up the third floor of the Art Museum at Penguin Park, featuring art from five extraordinary museums, all centered around a single topic: representations of fantasy and magic in art, throughout time and space. Pieces from Le Louvre, the British Museum, Seattle Art Museum, the National Museum of China, and the Museum of Islamic Art, along with those temporarily loaned from private collections, have been selected by art historians and curators alike to make for a stunning, three hundred and fifty piece exhibit that will travel much of the world, starting from 2025 through 2030.

The museum is laid out in such a way that the stairs and elevator open up right next to each other - this is beneficial for the exhibits security, as all visitors are, upon arrival to the third floor, greeted by one of the museum's staff members, who will promptly explain that visitors have to let their bags be examined, as the museum is taking the security of the art very seriously. Anything that could be damaging to the art - from lotion to lip balm to nail polish to hand sanitizer to pocket combs to nail clippers to heavy objects like a pocket watch or sharp edged items like a set of keys - risks being confiscated. All confiscated items (or bags, if one elects to just give up their whole bag) are placed in a plastic container with the owner's name written on it, to be returned upon exit from the exhibit. A limited number of people is allowed within the exhibit at one time - around fifty at the maximum.

The exhibit is organized by style and era, starting from the most ancient of pieces to the most modern. There are different security measures for each piece - from glass cases, to protect sculptures, pottery, metalwork, and jewelry, all on pedestals to better view them from a 360 angle. Paintings, silk screens, woodblock prints, and more are mounted on walls, with ropes to keep people from getting too close. There have been multiple rooms appropriate for the exhibit's use, with even the hallways having art pieces on display.

All of the art work is extraordinary, a true collection for the ages, but those with an awareness of magic will notice something else: that many of the works of art seem to depict true magic, in recognizable forms.
