Springfield Artifacts
9. The World's Largest Cubic Zirconia
Where it's Housed:
The Springfield Museum.

For use as a drill, but to mine immense pastries for custard; to show the newly engaged what a mistake it would be not to go with a real diamond; a conversation piece/paperweight.
Its Primary Purpose:
To serve as an exhibit in a woefully uninteresting museum
Its Worth:
Twenty-seven bucks of cheap glass.
10. Portrait of Burns
How it Came to
Be:
After several unsuccessful commissions (which systematically alienated the entire Springfield art community), C. Montgomery Burns asked Springfield Art Fair's first-prize winner, Marge Simpson, to paint his portrait. Burns's intrusion upon the Simpson's home did little to endear him to Marge, and the portrait reflected her feelings towards him: it showed burns as a frail, vulnerable-an d thus, human-naked old man.
Where to See it:
The Burns wing of the Springfield Palace of Fine Arts.
How Long the Average Person Can Handle Looking at it:
45 Seconds.
