Byronmandy is proud to announce that the Baradoz Museum of Human History is currently under construction in the city of Palma, Majorca. Upon it’s completion, it will be the largest museum in the world and will become one of the region’s most important cultural and historical locations. Work has been under way for some years now, but it hasn’t been revealed exactly what the building was to be until just recently. It was built with the majority of funding coming from the government of Byronmandy, but also from a mysterious donor. Richard Hopkins, an intellectual that had traveled the world, but never been to Byronmandy once in his life, had acquired a very large fortune throughout his various endeavors. He was a renaissance man that donated his entire wealth to Byronmandy, a place he had never been before, when he died. His family says that he had become quite the philosopher as he aged, and took a great interest in the world and it’s future. Why he picked Byronmandy is anyone’s guess. Scheduled to open at any time, the Baradoz Museum of Human History will focus on the various cultures, people, and nations that call the region home. The museum is open to all visitors, and you don’t need a passport or visa to enter. The land upon which the museum sits has been declared an international territory where people of all nationalities can visit free of charge. Over time, various specialty exhibits will be on display in the museum for others to enjoy. However Byronmandy does not want this to be a purely national history of the Republic. Donations or “loans” of historical and cultural artifacts from the various nations of the region are deeply appreciated and sought after. (OOC: Collections will be displayed in this thread for all to enjoy). The Museum is destined to become one of the region’s most important landmarks. Photos- ![]() ![]() |

Message from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science ~Concerning the Baradoz Museum of Human History The ministry wants to congratulate the government of Byronmandy with this formidable acquisition. The complex itself is a true piece of art, and the international focus should be an example to us all. To show our gratitude we offer you to borrow indefinitely a collection of Dutch paintings made by Rembrandt van Rijn, Vincent van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer, and many others. If you agree we can discuss which paintings will be shipped to the museum. |

Excellent. The Board of Culture and History accepts this offer without hesitation. You may ship and display them for the world to see when ready. |

Georg Neudorffer, MFA: "We are greatly indebted to both the departed Richard Hopkins and the Government of Byronmandy for creating such a wondrous complex that is to teach the peoples of the world of their shared history. We very much appreciate the international character of the museum, as this way it is truly open to all in the world. To promote this great endeavour, Neoplanta would wish to donate to the museum a number of archaeological finds, ranging from prehistory through ancient Greece and Rome and the middle ages up to the 19th century. The most notable find would be a Byzantine ship that currently lays on the bottom of the Black Sea. The wood of the ship's construction was kept intact by the complete lack of oxygen in the great depths in the north of the Black Sea, and now in case of extracting the ship from the sea floor, it would need to be constantly cared for to prevent decomposition. This maintenancework would be the cost of the museum to take possession of the ship; this is quite a significant yearly sum, and is the sole reason for Neoplanta not having excavated this and many similar finds to the surface as of yet. We do believe our offer is reasonable, as a mostly intact Byzantine ship from the early 9th century is held priceless by both archaeologists and historians alike. We hope that we will be able to further cooperate with the Museum of Human History and the Government of Byronmandy in the future. Once again, we applaud both the late Richard Hopkins and the Government of Byronmandy on this great and noble enterprise." |

The Museum thanks Neoplanta for their generosity. A underwater archaeology team will be sent to the black sea to help with excavation of the Byzantine ship. |

Celatoria offers to the museum a number of crowns of the minor independent Celatorian duchies that had existed prior to their absorption into the united kingdom. These crowns are the personal property of the king and he has approved this offer of a loan. This would initially be a six month loan. |

Though tensions remain high among the Empire and the Republic of Byronmandy the Empire supports the education of the masses. No museum can claim to be a true human historical center without a section on the history of the Empire and its impact on the development of civilization. The Imperial Museum of Egyptology in Alexandria is sending one of there traveling exhibits on early Egypt and the development of the Empire. The exhibit comes complete with art, ancient artifacts, dioramas, ancient weaponry, movie clips, and mummies. The traveling exhibit will remain at the Baradoz Museum of Human History until a permanent exhibit is put into place. |
