A Museum Inside the Sea Cave

A timber-framed museum built inside a sea cave, with dark water showing at both edges and stalactites overhead. Upstairs on the left, two visitors study a giant fossil log before a painted forest. The centre room is a chart room where a man and a boy lean over sea maps beneath a huge world map and model ships. On the right a bearded man reads a book on a wooden quay, next to a figure in a brass diving suit, with anchors and a bell in a glass case. Below, a tall glass cylinder of bubbling water is studied by three scientists at a round table. In the middle a crew works on a big copper diving bell, and on the right two people sort pottery shards under a rocky ceiling. Wooden beams and iron brackets frame each room into its own tidy tile.
