'Last Remnants of Humanity' Exhibit
Purpose / Function
An exhibit dedicated to the later millennia of the human race's existence, housing numerous artifacts from the early rise of the dragons to humankind's eventual extinction.
Architecture
Unlike most of the halls and exhibits within the Nottingham Museum, the room is sparsely decorated, brightly lit, and often described as being 'clinical and grim, like the waiting room of a funeral home.' This apt description is due to the room's design being deliberate, to focus on the artifacts at hand and their symbolism as the last remains of a race knowing it was doomed to die with a whimper.
The very center of the exhibit hall houses a large 30 foot long by 15 foot high white concrete wall with a clear glass protector around it- The wall houses a multitude of artifacts, largely journals, photographs, carvings, paintings, and tools and clothing made by humans themselves from the War of Black Ash era onward. The side of this wall facing the entry is notably full of artifacts and remains, first hand accounts, and remnants of humankind, growing more and more sparse along the wall's timeline. The opposite side, facing the windows that look down upon Nottingham Square Memorial Garden,
Tourism
As a permanent installation, this exhibit is prized by the every day museum visitor and scholar alike. Many of its artifacts were found locally in Nottingham or the surrounding suburbs, being a source of local pride in the area's conservation work for old historical sites where they may be safely housed and used to teach future generations. The Nottingham Museum sees a lot of traffic for this exhibit as coming from researchers, archaeologists, and humanoid history professors from around Appalachia seeking to study its artifacts and remains.
