First i tried to play the game, but after registering i couldn’t really log-in, so i just explored the museum. I have learn a lot from this little tour. Barnum’s American museum, was located in the corner of broadway and ann street in New York City. The museum burned down on July 13 1865, there were animals inside. From what i’ve heard, Barnum’s seems to have a lot of ennemies.
During my visit, a picture of a man standing with a oil can in his hands capted my attention. His name is Robbert Cobb Kennedy Waxworks, and he is a convict who was executed on march 25, 1865 because he use to plot to fire New York’s fine establishement’s and the museum also. I also learned that Barnum’s tried to open another museum after the fire, but it was burned down too. I also learned that New York has been damaged a lot by different fires: September 21 1776, December 16 1835 and October 5 1858. It was realing interesting the way they arranged the site, i not’s boring and if i had to play the game, i knew i would like it even more.
