The Blakros museum is an area that is used frequently in Pathfinder Society. Having a flip map for it is long overdue but greatly appreciated and I'll be adding it to my purchases when available. The Blakros Museum is located in Absalom.

Such quick responses. Thanks!

I'm a big guy, so trust me when I say that this is difficult for me (especially with a bad knee and bad back) - but if this is the Blakros museum, I might literally jump for joy!Miiiiight beeee...
I'll have to get my VL to witness / be my "second". If I don't survive, he'll need to take over as VC, afterall :P

If it is not now I am going to be sooooo disappointed. I've wanted this for a while. Plus with remodeling, I wonder what it would look like? It could even be a future remodel.
Does it come with stuffed dinosaurs, mummies and numerian relics? Also, needs a sign that says "Blakros Museum, providing adventures for Pathfinders since Dec 2010."
Updated with final text and product image!
Looks very interesting. The small preview in the cover shot looks like a redesigned Blakros Museum. I did find some maps that almost perfectly match the cover shot above here at Fantasy Cartography. They're shown under 6-01 Trial By Machine, which by the way, doesn't use the museum. I didn't count the squares to see if it fits on a Flip-Mat thought.

You are absolutely right, it is the first floor shown.
Looks like a very interesting map - i´ll buy it. :-)
I play D&D 5th Edition rather than Pathfinder…. I know this makes me a heretic here. But I was wondering if this could also me useful in an urban D&D game. I could possibly make use of this for a session in one of the large Forgotten Realms cities like Waterdeep or Baldur's Gate?
Playing other games doesn´t make you an heretic, just someone who can be converted ;)
I think you can use all the maps for other systems that can be played with a combat square grid.

"Museum Displays" would make an awesome Map Pack to go along with this Flip Mat. Maybe call it "Objects of Interest" or something that wouldn't tie it as tightly to this Flip Mat, and suggest dropping the items into various dungeon and cavern Flip Mats to break up other-wise empty rooms or serve as adventure objectives. As GMs the objects could do double-duty, serving first as adventure objectives on some dungeon-themed Flip Mat, then standing on display in this one the next time we use it.
It could be set up like Map Pack: Vehicles, where you could cut the cards to end up with a ton of objects. The displays described in Blakros Museum-set PFS scenarios might be a good starting point.
No final images yet? Really curious
Um, I just opened up my copy, and I noticed something that could be either a lead in for a second section of the 3rd floor, or a glaring error.
On the 2nd floor map, there are 2 large staircases sit on the east flanking a display area that has several objects on plinths.
If the stairs lead up, then there is a 3rd floor, and i wonder what such a grand staircase leads to.
If they lead down, then their lower points don't have a location on the level 1 map, and that means that the only staircase up to the 2nd floor is a 5-foot wise one in the northern section of the museum...

Forgive me if this is explained already, or assumed, but I think the first floor sample map is upside down as posted (and labeled with the Pathfinder logo) here. If flipped 180`, the first floor short staircase (5'x20') and raised platform line up directly under the visible roof on the second floor map. I'd assume the double stairs "double back" over the first floor. So, to get from the first to the second floor, walk up the 5' flight of stairs, take a left or right, and another left or right and step up to the second floor. It would be nice if they were "drawn in" on the first floor, though.
Does that make sense? I tried to draw it here: http://imgur.com/eVCbGkC
I'll be ready to run some classic Blakros scenarios with this! Order's on the way!!!

I would go so far as to say this is only for season 6+ there were some questionable (as in should you play with that strange artifact questionable) renovations to the structure just prior to the #6-02 Silver Mount Collection.

Help me understand why the new layout being different is bad for the old mods? can a GM just at move the old encounters to new the new rooms? (Remember that players don't see the maps in the mods, so they don't have to know they don't match.). Or are there missing rooms or spaces that are too small for the old encounters?
Yeah...I kinda wish they hadn't changed it, and just made a bigger flip-mat. Oh well.
