When all was said and done I had myself a museum that was (hopefully) like nothing people will ever see in the real world! As for an exact block count, I am not sure. From left to right the museum is roughly 40 blocks long, front to back is about 35. The Statue of Liberty is roughly 43 blocks tall, 50 at the top of the torch and 20 blocks across, as well as a lot of smaller things.
Here we begin our tour of my virtual museum with some pics from above to see the whole thing.
As seen in the bottom right of the top pic, our first 3D object is lava viewing area for guests to see before entering, as well as a fountain.
Walking a bit more to the right, we get a view of the second 3D object from the bottom, which is a giant ice sculpture of the Statue of Liberty.
Next, taking a look inside we see the first floor and toward the back, our first museum display.
Upon closer inspection, we can see that it is a bed....used by George Washington during the American Revolution.
Next we take a walk up the stairs to the second floor and walk around a bit to check things out.
Walking toward the back, we see our second museum display which is none other than...
Paul Revere's horse!!! Guests can get an up close look at a great piece of American history. This thing is a lean, mean stallion...looks good for being 250 years old..
Now let's take a walk up to the third floor!
When we get up the stairs, a waterfall is visible through the first window, as well as some foreshadowing on the wall! ;-)
Take a right and you can partially see the statue's arm out of this window.
Walk to the other side of the room and the front is a big window with some waterfalls flowing past it.
Over in the corner there is the 3rd museum display.
Looks like some sort of closed in area, what could it be?...
AAHHHH GOD WHY
Enough of the 8 legged freak, we now go up to the top floor where we can see some 3D waterfalls flowing off the building, as well as get a closer look at the statue!
More waterfalls
On the other side is the 3rd 3D object (unless the waterfalls count too), the swimming pool! There is a staircase to get into it and it flows out and over the edges as two more waterfalls.
Here's another view. (Side note: The spider escaped... that sucks)
The last 3D object is the canal that runs thru the statue's feet and into a pool behind him.
It was getting dark at this point, which is the best time to see the lava viewing area because it glows!
After a nights sleep in George Washington's bed, here is another view of the main entrance which is a gold walkway and waterfalls coming down each side.
Here is another look at (mostly) the whole place!
Last is a view from the top of a nearby mountain. Hope you guys like it!!
Approx inventory:
Museum: 3,000
Statue: 900
Water tunnels: 300
Floors/ceilings: 1,300
This is a final project using minecraft to build an immersive library/museum.
It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am
taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer
Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
