Backrooms Level 22: The Grand Exhibition

Immerse yourself in Level 22, popularly referred to as "The Grand Exhibition", an interminable network of art galleries and display chambers.

Portrait of the Place:

Imagine endless galleries, each brimming with art pieces in all forms, shapes, and sizes. Sculptures that breathe life, paintings that tell tales, photographs that capture time, and other eclectic visuals. Some of these artistic marvels echo the nuances of other Backrooms levels, encapsulating entities or events, while others revel in their abstraction or defy comprehension.

The Ambience:

Expect a mild chill, a counterpart to the dryness of the air. The scent palette is a fusion of paint and the nostalgic aroma of old books. The setting is almost sacred in its silence, interrupted only by the occasional echo of solitary footsteps. Artificial lights paint the surroundings with a soft, neutral glow, creating the perfect atmosphere for art appreciation.
