Musing over my Museyroom

"Create a Museyroom."  What an assignment.  So I'm supposed to figure out how my brain best remembers things, accesses memory loci, etc, and make a poster explaining that to others. Good grief Charlie Brown.

So I've been puzzling over this assignment in a general manner that follows the above statements.  My mind is a mystery to me.  A mystery department.  A department of mysteries.  OMG HARRY POTTER.  I've had a stroke of brilliance.  So anyone that has read the Harry Potter books, or at least seen the movies (which I'm willing to bet is darn near all of us) is familiar with the Department of Mysteries (located at the Ministry of Magic) that stars in the 5th book: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.  This department contains mysterious objects of all nature pertaining to the world of wizards.  One of the rooms is a gigantic circular room with doors spaced all around the walls that lead to each of the other rooms.  Each room has a subject.  Hmm, I may be a muggle but this sounds like a Bruno/Camillo-esque memory theater to me!  I plan to adopt this brain wave in my museyroom by creating a circular room of doors that leads to each of my memory palaces or something along these lines.  Stay tuned for my progress!!
