First Exhibit

There are two doors leading further into the museum - the one the guard went through leads to the main exhibit hall, and the other door leads to a series of smaller exhibit rooms. The guard seems to immediately begin watching TV in the breakroom and to only do two or three sweeps of the building per night. You should have a few hours to check out the rest of the building in peace.

You go to the smaller exhibit, which contains many connected rooms filled with wood paneling and furniture taken from the historic Hôtel de Cabris in France. As you continue, you discover more replica rooms from other historic locations around the world.
