The Museum of Otherwordly Cultures was established by Osvaldo Sky. When Osvaldo visited Rhy?Din he was shocked at the flux of cultures that poured from the travelers that came to Rhy?Din. He wanted to create a space where those cultures could be shared.
After purchasing one of the local buildings on the outskirts of Rhy?Din?s marketplace, Osvaldo set to renovating the home. Some walls had to be knocked down and rebuild to make for better show spaces. The large kitchen lost half of its space to make the hallways extend from the front to the back of the building. In January of 2015 Osvaldo hired Robert Brohkun to be his museum curator. As curator, he lives on the second floor of the museum.

Students from the Rhy?Din highschool and university got a discount for attending. Donations for the museum are always appreciated.
Museum Layout and Description

The house that was renovated into museum has a porch which welcomes visitors and offers them a reprieve on a rainy day. Once inside there is a long, rectangular waiting room lined with high back chairs that have no arm rests. The rectangular room meets with a hallway, which intersects it not in the middle but further down its length.
The hallway leads to three showing areas. On the left is the largest room, reserved for ?major pieces? on display. The two doors on the left of the hall both open to that room. The first door on the right holds what the museum calls its ?permanent? collection, which exists largely on items donated to the museum. The second room on the right is usually the continuation of the exhibit features in the larger room.
Not quite at the end of the hallway, the walkway opens up to a large staircase which connects to three rooms, two of which have exhibit space while one is marked as the curator's office. The third floor is reserved for items in storage or in preparation for showing and contains no exhibit space at all. The doorway to the third floor is marked off with a sign that says "Employees Only."
The kitchen, where food is kept not just for the staff but for field trips full of children, is kept in the kitchen which is the last door on the right after the staircase. Upon entering there is an table with bench seating, a counter and a back door which leads to the parking area.
