Magnimar Libraries:

Museum of Ages (Capital District, Building C4)

This museum, curated by esteemed scholar of Varisian history Doctor Ernst Landis (N male Chelaxian expert5/wizard5), is the largest in Magnimar and lavishly supported by public funds. It holds displays on the history, inhabitants, and culture of not just Varisia, but Golarion as well. Of particular note are three of its permanent displays: the ancient Eye of Rakzhan (a magically petrified cyclops eyes from a remote island in the Shackles), the Gemstone Regalia of King Chadris Porphyria III (held on public display here much to Korvosa’s disdain), and the Lions of Siv (two matching lions, one of red marble and the other of black). The Museum of Ages funds the region-wide expeditions of renowned explorer, treasure hunter, and Pathfinder Doctor Archisa Aparna (NG female Vudrana bard 5), who frequently lectures on ancient Varisian monuments on the occasions she is in the city.
