A man in grey clothing appeared at the entrance to the museum. He was carrying an elegant sign with a unmarked brass plaque in the shape of an arrow attached to a dark wooden back. After extracting a tool from a pocket, he attached the sign to a wall such that it was pointing to the south. He returned the tool to his pocket and headed for the exit.

With a muttered curse the man stopped and returned to the sign.

Using a tool from another pocket he adjusted the sign such that it was now facing north instead.

Again the man returned to the sign.

Looking annoyed he removed the arrow. He took a small device from a pocket and attached it to the wall. He then screwed the arrow to this rather than the wall.

With a faint clicking noise the arrow turned to point south.

Finally satisfied the man again walked away.
