Locus Amoenus, our fourth sim, was formally opened yesterday to the public (and to anyone wishing to buy land in it!), with an inauguration ceremony devised by the New Guild (based on Etruscan, Greek, and Roman ceremonies inaugurating new cities).
Well attended, the formal opening finished with lots of Greek music, streamed by Naftali Torok.

Starting February 14th, the Alpine Meadow Monastery will feature an exhibition of “Symbols of Love”, which will be on display for a while, at least until the snow melts!
From the Monastery’s blog:
As Curator, we have asked people to exhibit an object which means love. We have finally got three very interesting pieces or idea that we have exhibited in the Chapel.
As the Taj Mahal was to big to take place here and impossible to reduce, we have exhibited a snapshot. We have added the pond and a bank.
The artwork “Love international” was already exhibited in the POZ Poets Cave.
The artwork without title of Alexicon Kurka is exhibited for the first time.
