 Locus Amoenus, our fourth sim, was formally opened yesterday to the public (and to anyone wishing to buy land in it!), with an inauguration&#160;ceremony&#160;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.

<blockquote>
<p align="left">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.<br />
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.<br />
The artwork “Love international” was already exhibited in the POZ Poets Cave.<br />
The artwork without title of Alexicon Kurka is exhibited for the first time.</p></blockquote>
