Evan Museum of Science and Art

The  (shortened to EMSA) is one of 30 Landmarks in Torn: Origins. It contains Landmark Book #15.

In-game description
"The Evan Museum of Science and Art, or EMSA, is the largest and most museum in the city. Located right between Downtown and the Lantern District (Chinatown), the EMSA is a perfect destination for tourists. Learn about the fascinations of science while exploring the creativity of art at this museum."

Location
The building is located in West Downtown, Evan. It occupies a huge space bordered by Velaur Avenue to the north, Bleake Avenue to the south, Torre Street to the east, and Museum Avenue to the west.

Appearance
The EMSA is a large masoleum-esque building featuring white quartz cladding and black windows. Its first floor occupies the entire block, while the second floor occupies a portion of the building's space. The front of the building features a large staircase leading to the grand entrance, with banners reading "EMSA" hanging above. Additionally, above that, there is an ornate decoration featuring a small slope with four buttons, and a sign in between the four buttons reading "these buttons is just 4 show", humorously telling the player that the buttons are just for decoration. Parking spaces with meters, dedicated to the museum, line the streets outside.

Plot
The EMSA plays a major role in the beginning of the story. It is the location of the very first mission, 1.1 Fight at the Museum. The player must navigate through the museum, fighting First Sons along the way, until they defeat Taldown and escape. After they complete the mission, they can no longer enter the museum.

Landmark Book Location
The Landmark Book for EMSA is located on the roof, between the first and second floors, right above the main entrance, behind the button decorations. To access it, climb a taller nearby building and glide onto the roof. The Landmark Book is inside a chest underneath a trapdoor.

Trivia
