[This is based on an actual entity which relocated to New York several years ago; in my chronicle's version of the World of Darkness it is still located in the arts district of Boca Raton, and also more elaborate than it was in reality.]<br/><br/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cartoon_Museum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cartoon_Museum)<br/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Comic_and_Cartoon_Art (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Comic_and_Cartoon_Art)<br/><br/>The Museum of Sequential Art is located in the arts district of downtown Boca Raton, Florida, in a building constructed of rough-textured stone and coral blocks.  The building is approximately 150 feet square with three levels above ground.  The two upper stories are devoted entirely to storage rooms except for a few offices on the middle level.<br/><br/>The museum has rather elaborate security precautions; one might even call them borderline-paranoid.  The official reason is that there is so much valuable original artwork present; the unofficial reason is that the insurance companies demand the security.  The real reason is that it's a major Elysium where the local Kindred gather at least once a month.<br/><br/>There is one entrance in the middle of each wall and in each corner of the building; all these are plain, windowless steel fire doors with both a regular lock, a deadbolt, and an electronic keypad.  As fire doors, they can be opened freely from the inside, but this will trigger an alarm if the keypad is not used.<br/><br/>The exception is the main entrance in the middle of the front wall; this is a set of bulletproof glass double doors with the same sort of locks, but they are left unlocked during the museum's operating hours.  Each entrance is also covered by video cameras, and additional cameras are mounted on the street lights in the parking lot which surrounds the building, so the entire area is covered.  Normally the cameras are watched by a single pair of bored security guards, and another pair of guards stroll the building's interior during the hours that it's open.  Of course there is also a security system which will trigger an alarm in the guard office of the museum and also the guard company's own office if any door is opened without authorization; after one minute, unless a security code is entered, the alarm will also sound in the building itself (during the day) and in the local police station.<br/><br/>Security procedures are even tighter during gatherings at the Elysium, which are officially advertised as "private parties for major donors."  (Since the museum also holds *real* fundraising parties, this is an effective cover.)  A pair of guards is stationed at the front door, another pair at the gate to the parking lot, and one on each corner of the rooftop, for a total of eight, plus two more who can relieve or reinforce any of the others.  The guards at the gate and the front door will check the ID of any visitor against the guest list on their clipboards, and even if it matches they will call ahead to get approval before opening the gate or door.<br/><br/>Finally, the sheriff (William B. "Wild Bill" Williams, Gangrel ancilla, with Auspex 2) and either a Tremere or Malkavian will be at the front door in order to verify the identity of each known visitor, and to make sure any new visitors are not Sabbat infiltrators or other troublemakers.  Lady Blood, the Toreador Primogen, is Keeper of Elysium and the particular patron of the museum.<br/><br/>Inside, the museum is filled with original comic artwork including political cartoons, comic strips, and comic books, plus anime and manga from Japan.  Lady Blood donates several signed copies of every new issue of her independent comic book.  It also contains a gallery of portrait-sized original artwork from a unique new version of the Tarot deck, commissioned by Mr Grey.<br/><br/>The internal layout of the museum is very simple.  There are two long hallways that run from the middle of one side to the middle of the other.  Along the sides of each hall are open doorways into various galleries.  Each gallery has an exit door which is normally kept locked; it leads to another set of hallways which have storage rooms along their length.  Basically, the floor plan looks like a Cross of Jerusalem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Jerusalem).<br/><br/>The center of the ground floor has a large lounge which is used to host gatherings.<br/><br/>In addition to security against intruders, the museum also has a very powerful anti-fire system.  Every room is equipped with motion, sound, light, heat, and smoke detectors, as well as security cameras.  If any of these detectors are triggered, it alerts the guards by sounding alarms as described above.  Also, if the heat or smoke detectors are activated, the fire extinguishers in the ceiling of that room are also activated.  Of course all the walls and doors in the building are fireproof, and there are manual fire extinguishers at many locations.<br/><br/>The exhibits in the museum include one on "Powerful Womyn throughout Herstory."  This The exhibit includes several<em>Wonder Woman</em>comics, as well as<em>Wonder Womyn Comix</em>(an underground parody/pastiche version), and other items including every issue of<em>Lady Blood</em>of course -- and a sacred Labrys belonging to the ancient priestesses of Artemis.  There is an exhibit about bull-priestesses in ancient Crete; apparently they wore corsets and long skirts but their breasts were bare, and they had sex with bulls and bred minotaurs . . .  The Cretan bull-priestess exhibit also has a bunch of weapons including an enormous bow, a double-headed axe, some spears, and some primitive-looking swords and shields and helmets. It also has a copy of Robert Graves'<em>The White Goddess</em>and<em>Hercules, My Shipmate</em>.
