While not a single enclosed institution in all timelines, these displays serve as the primary repository for Inkling cultural heritage, showcasing artifacts from the ancient ancestor era through the modern Ink War against Octarians.

Artists and historians collaborate to ensure that the stories of Squid Sisters, legendary Turf War champions, and the technological advancements in ink gear remain visible. This open-air approach ensures that history is accessible to everyone, reflecting the Inklings' communal spirit and their desire to keep the memory of their ancestors alive amidst modern chaos.
In Their Own Story
Agent Eight paused by a weathered mural near Splatville Station, the colors still vibrant despite the years. It depicted an ancient Inkling ancestor holding a primitive blaster, staring down a shadowy Octarian silhouette. A young Inkling child pointed at the statue of a Squid Sister nearby, asking about the war before they were born. The Agent nodded softly, touching the cold metal plaque that explained how far their people had come from those dark days.
