So thanks to Glap555's generous donation of 100k, I have almost finished the Perlan build. The exterior is mostly complete except the surrounding area (I plan on using the rest of the money mainly on this) as well as finsihing the interior. I added a spare beacon I had in one of my shulkers to the build as well as some of my spawners. I have also added my head collection (thanks to Delta097 for donating one of his heads as well as some other ones) and to all the people I have killed in the past for the heads (sorry Huckle I may have tp trapped you a few times but we dont talk about that) I also have added some maps of diffrent places like the survival spawn, the main end island, and my base.
Currect dono chart:
Glap555: 100k
Ricardo503: 30k
_Format333_: couple hundred
Plans for the future:
Parking lot
Surrounding Property (trees, etc.)
Gift Shop (thanks to Delta097 for the idea)
A resturant just like the real thing
Maybe some other things like exibits?
Here is a picture of the Perlan so far:
(it only lets me upload one so heres one image)
If you want more info about the build, you can reply to this and i will reply ASAP
If you want to see the build, you can go to /l spawn Murica or TPA to Murica_Man if im online.
If you want to donoate, you can donoate to Murica_Man. 100% of donations would be put towards this build.
NEW: If you can, I am also accepting donations for heads. I am adding a collection of heads on the second floor so I want the head collection to be full!
Now, you may ask “what is the Perlan”
The Perlan (which means pearl in Icelandic) is a natural history muesum located in Reykjavik, Iceland. It was designed by ngimundur Sveinsson and was opened to the public on June 21, 1991. The white barrel looking things are heating tanks, that can hold 4 million liters of geothemal water. The glass dome is made with a steal frame that serves as the Perlans heating system. The building was orginally designed by the Icelandic painter Jóhannes Kjarval orginally designed a concept for the building.
This is the orginal description of the building:
“The temple sides were to be covered with mirror slabs so that the northern lights could approach the feet of men - the roof was to be decorated with crystals in at every color, and a floodlight was to be at the top of the ridge that illuminated all the tanks. The house itself was supposed to correspond to the light of day and the symbols of the night.”
This orginal concept was then build 60 years later.
The building is located on Öskuhlíð Hill, a aera with over 176,000 trees with unqie geology that has traces of the ice age.
The Perlan is also home to a war memorail to remeber the british envasion of Iceland (it wasent really an invasion but there was a large amount of millitary personal on the island)

UPDATE:
I changed the color of the dome!
I think it looks better in terms of how the rest of ther build looks and also that the real thing does not have blue windows.
UPDATE:
The white barrel looking things are about to be filled with exibhits!
I need suggestions for 4 new ones.
I have one for my rarest items, and another for “founding” documents I made for my land
UPDATE:
Here is the progress on the build so far:
I will add some lighting around the build soon.
UPDATE AGAIN:
I have added some basic light posts around the build along with some roads that go around the whole build. I have also added a parking lot and the icing of the cake is that I unclaimed the chucks the Perlan is in and reclaimed them on a different land named Perlan! So if you go into the building it will say that or whatever (it's a nice touch imo)
UPDATE:
Now with the soon additon of a shop, I will be building another build infront of the Perlan. I plan to either build the Nationl Theater of Iceland or the Akureyrarkirkja (a Church located in Akureyri, the 2nd most populated city in Iceland) If you have suggestions please let me know but I have one rule: The building MUST be located in Iceland.
EDIT: Im going to build the Alþingishúsið (the Parliament House), which is a 19th century building located in the same city as the Perlan! (it is also super close to the Perlan so that's cool i guess)
UPDATE:
so now we have a brute XP farm so yeah anyone can use it. It's maxed out so that's cool. I also will open the public trading hall very soon as I got a mending villager. All I need to do now is to breed more and get other ebooks like sharpness, unbreaking, and prot 4. I don't want to sound like a begger but we are still accepting donations to the Perlan. We also have custom ebooks for sale outside of the Perlan and also thanks to Delta097, we have traffic lights and a better tunnel connecting the Perlan to the mainland MURICA. Remember, come to /l spawn Perlan to see everything and let me know if yall got ideas because we still have a huge empty space available.
UPDATE AGAIN:
I have extended the dirt platform, so now I am building the Akureyrarkirkja and also a bonus, which is an Icelandic supermarket (they also have 1 or 2 locations on the Faroe Islands for some reason) and they have a little over 20 of them in Iceland. I have an image bellow:
It will look good trust
NEWS: tomorrow, or the 23rd I am leaving to go on a 75+ Mile backpacking trip in New Mexico and will return on the 6th of July at 1 in the morning. If I'm not updating this, just know that I am gone in New Mexico with no Internet and no phone but I do have a 40 pound backpack so that's cool :D
