CULTURE

Zīrkęnian art & architecture

Throughout the centuries, Zīrkęnian culture and architecture went through several ups and downs, golden years and dark ages. Komsomol and other cities produced many painters, writers, architects and poets. Nowadays, most of the national cultural heritage is preserved in the National Museum in Komsomol. However there are also lots of different museums in other cities, with a variety of things on display. From paintings to photographs and from sculptures to old physical instruments; the many museums represent a rich history.

During the Second Golden Age, Zīrkę had lots of craftsmen working on different kinds of objects like jewelry, everyday objects like stoves and hats, but with a quality and refined beauty found in few places on the Niverian Continent. The acient city of Blźt housed a lot of goldsmiths who gave the city her fame and wealth, while Komsomol was famous for her diamond trading.

Here some other examples of the fine artwork made by Zīrkęnian craftsmen during the Golden Ages.

Another form of arts is of course architecture. Komsomol and many other cities have beautiful historic centres with many old houses, palaces and buildings made by the rich merchants of the Golden Ages. In recent history many fine and monumental buildings have been designed and built, for example the National Museum as seen in the picture above, or the Komsomol Central station along with many more governmental or corporate buildings.
