Today I entered for the first time the space that will become our Takmahl museum. It is huge, and empty for now. Movable large wall partitions are separating four exhibit halls with a lot of floor space and very high ceilings. Light and climate control is being installed, for now the walls are blank.
Jenny suggested a layout where these four exhibit halls wrap around an entrance hall that can be used as a room for receptions and fundraisers. The entrance hall will sport huge windows that show a projection of Aphi below, as if you are in orbit of the planet and looking down on it. Of course, this will be only a clever illusion - the museum module could be in the central part of a station with no views to the outside. But it is nice for receptions to have a view to a planet below, even if it is fake. To the side, where the visitors exit the fourth and last exhibit hall, there will be a souvenir shop.
We're going for a rather symmetric plan of the exhibit halls, but I would also like a lecture room at the side, for conferences and colloquiums on history.
