Basic Info:

  • Museums have a wide range of different collections and exhibitions, although previously they were not lootable. Nowadays, different decorative items may be found there.
  • Generally, the descriptions found in Museums fall along the lines of "…currently displaying a(n) exhibition/installation/collection of _____________"
  • Museums can be barricaded normally.

the Saffyn Museum is a Scientific History Museum in Wyke Hills with the coordinates of [59,90].

History

"You are standing outside the Saffyn Museum, a tall yellow-stone building with smoke drifting from its roof."

"You are inside the Saffyn Museum, currently displaying an exhibition of scientific history."

Although West Grayside, Wyke Hills and the surrounding areas are relatively poor suburbs, hosting the West Grayside barrios, a number of warehouses and factories, and many low-level buildings, the Saffyn Museum has provided a point of enlightenment and learning for over six decades. The Museum caters mostly towards scientific discoveries and historical appreciation, and remnants of permanent installations aimed towards teaching children can still be found.

While the building itself is only about three stories tall, it contains several wings and in its center, hosts a huge hall with a giant, hanging diorama of the sun and all its orbiting planets--at least, those discovered before the turn of the millenium.

Since the quarantine went into effect, the Saffyn Museum has seen relatively little battle. Survivors place little value in it because its wide, echoing hallways are difficult to heat during the winter, and are rather uncomfortable unless outside bedding can be brought in. Zombies place little value in it because the first-floor windows are all but non-existant, and the rotating door towards the front can be easily barricaded. Planks and ropes have been set up towards the north--or the 'back'--entrance for survivors to climb inside, but few rarely stay for more than a couple of nights.

For this reason, the Saffyn Museum remains in relatively good condition.

Barricading Policy

Since the Saffyn Museum is located near to a revive point at the Wicklen Monument, it is to be kept at Very Strongly Barricaded unless the suburb is under heavy attack.

March 19, 2007 - The Saffyn Museum is under constant attack along with the surrounding area. Its barricades have been bumped past very strongly barricaded to ensure a wider spread of targets for zombies to attack. The Wicklen Monument revive point is currently slow, or out of order. -- Dray 17:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The Saffyn Museum has been seeing a lot of quiet for the last few months, and has been playing host to new players and wayfarers alike for some time. It remains in a state of peace and tranquility.
