The Dury Museum

Description

"Buttle off and tell Baron Bruno that [...] we're here to view the tapestries." -Indiana Jones "This is a castle and we have many tapestries. But if you are a Scottish Lord then I am MICKEY MOUSE!" -Butler

Dury Museum... in pre-apocalypse Malton, the museum was a bustling little facility, hosting school children, tour groups and the public for a small fee. Guided tours were heard echoing throughout the chambers covered in aging tapestries from the great artists. A section of the museum was dedicated to modern tapestry artists, as well. The Middle Eastern tapestry collection was one of the most extensive in the world until the place was looted during the early days of the Outbreak.

Now a few forlorn tapestries hang in the gallery. Still, the Dury Museum Curator's Society board of directors managed to contact an old employee and convince her to return to work and prepare the museum to receive both living and undead guests.

Currently On Display

One room of the museum has been cleared, for the display of two Greek tapestries, a mediaeval tapestry, a torn tapestry, a print of a tapestry, a dark tapestry, two African paintings and two cubist paintings. The two cubist paintings were donated by The Zwanenburg Museum, as acquired by Museum Curator Zombie the Greek. The African paintings was provided by The Cari Museum in Scarletwood and The Durie Museum in Danversbank.

A reproduction of a wonderful piece of art on display in Austria

In gallery 1, we have a stunning reproduction of a Greek tapestry. The original is in Austria, but we were still delighted to find this in a recent drop from private aircraft working in conjunction with the military. It is next to the wonderful 'Rabasaki' tapestry, which is loosely translated as 'Love Letter'. The artist's adoration for the unknown woman just leaps from the artful weaving! Unfortunately, the work has not been properly categorized, so the original creator's name has been lost to the ravages of time.

Barricade Policy

Current Barricade Policy is VSB++ so that visitors without free running can enter.

There are rumors that a group may turn Dury Museum into something similar to the Quartly Library, a truce zone where there are no barricades and survivors and zambahz both can find safe haven. Whether it happens remains to be seen...

Current Status

A wash of zombies cleared the museum, and one tour was managed before the tour guide was killed. Presently ransacked, and all displays destroyed. It is a dark day, a dark day in art. --BLusk 13:31, 28 April 2011 (BST)
