As soon as you finish your meal, the servants appear to take away your dishes and leftovers. Making your way through the compound gate, you find yourselves on the dusty, early morning street of Hafar. Already, people are going about their business; probably to get as much done as they can before the heat of the day fully arrives. You wind your way through narrow, crooked streets lined with brightly colored stalls whose proprieters hawk everything from delicate items made from intricately wrought glass of every hue to carpets whose patterns seem to tell stories in their weave. The sights, sounds, and scents of every possible tradegood imaginable is almost overwhelming.
After about twenty minutes, you arrive at a two story building, its walls beautifully decorated in detailed mosaics depicting people engaged in various academic pursuits. On the left side of the entrance is the image of a turbaned man peering through a long golden tube at the moon. On the right is the image of another man in similar dress holding an open scroll in one hand and indicating it with the other, as if to draw attention to what is drawn on it. Closer inspection shows the illustration to be a burning lamp.
Passing through the heavy double doors, you enter a wide foyer, with two passages leading off at slight angles to the right and left. The wall that divides the two hallways bears a huge polished brass plaque. Upon it you can read the date of the museum's founding some two hundred years before, the name of the Farszyi king who commissioned the construction of the museum, and the names of his ministers and viziers. The left passage, according to the plaque, leads to the rooms where art and literature is contained, the right to the science, military, and exploration exhibits are displayed.
