Description           : An early version of the Museum map (e1m4) of the BloodLines TC.
			"Next to the Waxworks lies the Museum of Archeology and Natural
 			History. What horrors hide in the shadows between ancient coffins
			and dinosaur skeletons? Perhaps the dusty tomes of the museum
			library can reveal more about the forces of darkness."
			(from an early BloodLines map outline)
			
			This map I never could really make up my mind about. On one hand it
			has a lot of nice ideas and details (the pen and paper on the bench,
			blood-soaked floor and true 3d crate in the basement struck me as
			rather clever when I played the map for the first time), but on the
			other hand it has more than a few flaws. Not only does it suffer
			from the monumental size that's characteristic for many newcomers,
			and for people who are used to build non-realistic structures. But
			at least the earliest versions also shows lack of originality. When
			I asked him, Adam openly admitted that he had more or less copied
			the outside of the library in Cryptic Passage, because he couldn't
			come up with something himself. He intended to change it later.
			All in all, this map is an interesting experience. There are some
			fine ideas in there, and I'm sure it would have been an enjoyable
			level if completed. It's far from being one of the best maps in our
			TC (thank God!), but the architecture is interesting, and I think
			you will find it fun to see the development of the map through four
			versions.



Other                 : IMPORTANT- You will need the art file that comes with the
 			BloodLines demo to avoid hall-of-mirror effects caused by
			missing art.
			
			This map does NOT appear in the actual TC and should not be thought 
			of as a demo version. After Adam quit the team, Matt took over work
			on the map, and decided to start over from scratch.
