Two grand doors mark the entranceway to the museum, guarded by beings wearing the crimson robes and armor of the Royal Guard. A pair of grand, spiraling staircases can be found at either side of the main floor, leading to the vast second floor and then continue up to the Grand Ballroom. Two guards stand at the base of each staircase, facing each other as well as those who pass by on their way up and down the stairs as they take in the various exhibits. For those passing to the Grand Ballroom, the journey there accentuates the great power of the Empire.
