Describe the Green Palace and its contents.

At the beginning of Chapter Six, the Time Traveller visits the Green Palace. Externally, this palace catches the Time Traveller's eye because it is much larger than any other building he has seen thus far. It is ruined, like the other surrounding buildings, but is green in colour, and it appears to be made out of porcelain.

At the beginning of Chapter Six, the Time Traveller visits the Green Palace. Externally, this palace catches the Time Traveller's eye because it is much larger than any other building he has seen thus far. It is ruined, like the other surrounding buildings, but is green in colour, and it appears to be made out of porcelain. 

In Chapter Eight, the Time Traveller's curiosity prompts him to revisit the Green Palace and explore its interior. As it is ruined, its windows are smashed and the metal frame, which supports its structure, is damaged. There is an inscription over the doorway but the Time Traveller cannot read it because he does not understand the language.

Entering the building, the Time Traveller finds himself in a long room, with windows dotted along either side. The overwhelming impression of this room is one of neglect and ruin: the floor and shelves are thick with dust and the roof is cracked and leaking water. But, even in its poor state, the Time Traveller soon realizes that the palace was once a museum. In this room are pieces of dinosaur skeleton, fossils and some unrecognized objects in glass jars, dotted along the shelves. 

Leaving this room and proceeding to the next, the Time Traveller finds a gallery devoted to rocks and minerals and, next, a collection of natural history relics. Many of these, unfortunately, are no longer recognizable because they have been neglected for so long. 

As the Time Traveller continues to explore, however, Weena becomes very distressed. She alerts him to the sloped floor which leads to a tunnel of darkness. The pair notice some small footprints, suggestive of the Morlocks but the Time Traveller presses on and finds a staircase which he ascends. Upstairs, he comes across more ancient collections and, more importantly, a box of matches which he can use to protect himself and Weena from the Morlocks.

Eventually, after wandering through more galleries, filled with statues and other relics, he stumbles across some guns, rifles and, crucially, two sticks of dynamite. Pocketing the dynamite, he and Weena wander down to an open courtyard and rest before leaving the Green Palace. This dynamite, along with the matches, can be used to fend off the Morlocks and help the Time Traveller to break open the Sphinx and take back his time machine.
