A surge of primal energy courses through the museum halls, waking stone and wax from their diurnal slumber. In the shadowed chaos, where miniatures shout and mammoths lumber, a figure remains fixed upon his dais: Napoleon. His waxen form is rigid, his uniform crisp, his bicorne casting a sharp shadow. Those cold, painted eyes track you, you, with the focused hostility of a general surveying an encroaching enemy. He does not deign to join the revelry. This is his post, and you are an intruder.
