8th Wonder : Hermitage

[RedKetchup]

For my next wonder project, i want a warehouse. A wonder which purpose is to store a massive (it is a wonder) amount of stored goods

An epic warehouse

i hesitated between Angkor Wat and Hermitage. Since Angkor Wat is a buddhist temple and Hermitage is a museum storing antiquities... i felt it was more appropriate

planing to make it 15x15, storing 120,000 - 150,000 weight of all goods, all flags/limits. It is a Wonder afterall

1st preview, forms seems quite simple.

Let me know what you think about it.

I thought you'd go with a version of Horrea Galbae adapted for the game. A museum is a peculiar choice.

I found that image too, but thinking about it now, it's more of a storage complex than a single massive building. Plus, it's definitely not something beautiful to look at! lol

At first, I kept reading 'Hermione' instead of 'Hermitage,' and I ended up imagining some building from the Harry Potter world. First, I definitely need new glasses, and second, I have no idea why I even thought of that franchise since I didn't even like it that much, but it just stuck in my head!

happends to me too to read something else than what it is written

Hermitage wiki :

is a museum of art and culture in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and holds the largest collection of paintings in the world.[3][4] It was founded in 1764 when Empress Catherine the Great acquired a collection of paintings from the Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky. The museum celebrates the anniversary of its founding each year on 7 December, Saint Catherine's Day.[5] It has been open to the public since 1852. The Art Newspaper ranked the museum 10th in their list of the most visited art museums, with 2,812,913 visitors in 2022.
