History
The Salsbury museum was built in 1959, and first functioned as an office building. It is believed by some that the Necrotech Corporation came in and saved the building from destruction in 1970, and it was 3 years after that when it was first opened as a museum. At first, the museum struggled, having only enough money to present a few cheap locally made pieces. Then, in 1985, the museum received a large donation from an anonymous benefactor, known as P.mann. Many speculate that the money may have come from the infamous Pitmann family, but there is no proof in this matter.
After the outbreak, the museum was abandoned for many months, until a group of survivors in Osmondville realized just how dreary life was without any art, and so they began a clean-up and restoration of the museum. It was largely successful, and many exhibits are now set up, in areas where the zombies from the occasional break-in can't get at them.
Current Displays
The museum is known for its collection of conceptual sculptures, which are displayed prominently for the public.
Interestingly, many of these 'conceptual' works have inescapably erotic overtones. Of particular note are the rare collection of Dill Doe's decidedly prominent pink granite monoliths, which are displayed opposite a fine selection of 19th century Puseys.
The installation of these controversial works resulted in a massive swelling in visitor numbers, both for the Salsbury and the similarly named Salisbury Museum. Visitors who mistakenly went to the latter museum expecting to be titillated were surprised to find themselves visiting a collection of historic umbrellas instead.
Barricade Policy
According to the Osmondville Barricade Plan, the museum's barricades are to be kept at the highest level possible at all times, so that the culture and art of the area may be preserved.
