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 a European painting and a fire-damaged painting (both from The Summers Museum) and a Greek tapestry.

This Greek tapestry was nearly destroyed during a recent zombie raid, but we managed to recover the piece. Thankfully, no additional damage was done to it.

This European painting is courteously provided by The Summers Museum through our cooperative exchange program. This is a lesser-known works by the late Roy Lichensteinberger, who was once quoted as saying "Rembrandt would puke if he saw my paintings!" "Urban Blight" depicts an early 20th century city and the occupants thereof living in squalor. The damaged painting beside it was barely saved from the recent fire. Restoration work has begun, but it is slow work.

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)
