			It is easy to see why some critics might have dismissed the museum as being a monument to Lorenzo's [[ambition]], rather than a place to inspire pride in League citizens! Indeed, several wags have queried why there is so much emphasis on Temeschwar in a museum intended to inspire Tassatans. Elsewhere in the museum, there are displays of historical artefacts relevant to Tassato, the League or the Empire today, but in some ways their display appears to be more of an afterthought than the purpose for which this gaudy museum was constructed.

			The museum was rebuilt and expanded after an [[All_in_red#Fire_in_the_Museum\|arson]] attack by a small family of Faraden. While the museum was rebuilt along similar lines where possible, the new wing includes an exhibition curated by '''Astrid Fjellrevening Rezia di Tassato''' on the history of [[true liao]]. It features items of historical significance discovered after past life visions, information on the origins of liao, and a small section telling the story of Lord Colwyn de Rondell's past life vision which led to the vandalism of the original museum.
