==== The Gallery ==== | |||
The Gallery could be entered through ornate wooden doors beneath “the stained glass window showing the birds from which the [[Seven Noble Houses]] take their names”. It contained works of art from various styles, time periods and universes, presented in no particular order — including “photographs of poor children in a city that is almost but not quite [[London|Victorian London]]”, “pages from a medieval manuscript portraying impossible beasts”, “a Cubist painting showing the depths of [[Hell]]”, and “a painting [[Vincent Van Gogh|Van Gogh]] never made in this world”. The “armed statues in every style imaginable” which adorned the hallways, on the other hand, were not part of the exhibit: they were, instead, “the guards of the Gallery”, who “[brought] swift death to any who attempt[ed] to steal from it”. Deep in the Gallery, any visitor could find a room with paintings depicting key moments of their own life, including a painting of their own death at the far end of the room. “Few [had] the courage to venture this far.” ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Chapter 22: The Gallery|The Gallery]]'') | |||
