Giorlogi Museum of the Arts and Sciences

The Giorlogi Museum, located in Southern Galt, was repurposed out of an old mall that had fallen into disuse. Once the Woodbrook Mall and Eatery, it now houses the most prestigious museum in all of Galt. It was created and founded by Georgi Giorlogi, a half-elf scientist with a passion for magic, science, and art. He decided that the world needed a space where these three elements could be seen playing and mixing with each other, to be appreciated for their individual and co-existing qualities. The Giorlogi Museum was designed to demonstrate and explore the relations between forms of art and branches of science. It shows the aspects of each concept while providing the average bystander in-depth information, and then ties them all together into each other.   The interior of the museum flows smoothly from one sector to another, transitioning from physics to chemistry to biology to magic to psychology and winding art all throughout, from famous art pieces on the topics of the sciences to creative installations that demonstrate clever tricks of the eyes and physics. The museum aims to showcase the fact that science is merely a method of creation of art and that art is a manifestation of the sciences, and serves as a gentle reminder to Earthen immigrants that magic is a branch of science, not a contradiction of it.   The museum is easily recognizable from the exterior by a large metal sphere nearly ten feet in diameter suspended in the air through a delicate balance of magnetic forces. It stands in the pathway, with an inscription on a bronze plaque reading "This monument was erected to honor all who have given the best of their lives in the pursuit of scientific and artistic knowledge. Without understanding of the world and its facets there can be no kindness, for with the unknown comes fear and bigotry. Thank you for your contribution to the harmony of our world."
