These could be purchased with {{IL|Estival Tokens}}. Each player could obtain 30 free tokens at the beginning of the event, and more could be purchased for 1 {{FontFate}} apiece. Unlike the Grand Clearing-Out, there was no option to turn in an unused {{IL|A Free Gift}} for festival currency. Also unlike the Clearing-Out, it was confirmed in the announcement<ref>[https://www.failbettergames.com/news/f-f-gebrandts-prelapsarian-exhibition FBG Blog Post]</ref> that Estival Tokens would remain usable in future summer events. At 12:17 UTC, an option was added to spend {{FontFate}} to send tokens to other players.

The museum could be reached by a universal storylet, [[The Exhibition: Visit the Museum of Prelapsarian History]].

Initially, the work on the museum required {{IL|Museum Construction: Toil|Appearance=Toil}} and {{IL|Museum Construction: Materials|Appearance=Materials}}. Toil could be increased by 1-2 by various options in [[The Prelapsarian Exhibition: Building a Museum]], and Materials by an amount scaling based off of how long the event had been going on by [[Set a course (The Salt Lions)|zailing to the Salt Lions]], [[The Work of the Unmakers|picking up]] {{IL|A Hold Full of Sphinxstone}} and [[Deliver a load of sphinxstone|delivering it to the museum]]. Picking up a load of sphinxstone started a living story, preventing the player from returning for another load for 23 hours. As a result, most people only managed to deliver a single load before the Materials bar filled up.

Throughtout the evening, in response to numerous complaints that the Osteological and Archaeological options were nowhere near as profitable as the Optical options - and indeed, were scarcely worthwhile compared to normal in-game activities - Bruno carried out a number of bugfixes and adjustments.
