The high windows of the Aurell Museum catch every scrap of light that Brynwell can offer. A huge plaza spreads in front of the building, housing rotating galleries of statues. The interior opens into a spacious rotunda lit by floating orbs, and galleries branch off in sweeping arcs. Entry to the museum is free, and it has never closed its doors since its founding in 1838. Every wing deals with a different aspect of magical history: the fine arts, the ancient world, fossils of magical creatures, and more. Upper walkways trace the dome above, looking down on multi-story installations and the soft glow of archival rooms. Scholars and artists and curious students filter through its halls at all hours, treating the museum as both sanctuary and inspiration.
