A Visit To The 6529 Museum District

6529 is one of the top NFT collectors in the world and last week he launched the first destination in an Open Metaverse that he is encouraging people to develop along with him. That destination is the 6529 Museum District and you can visit it here. When you arrive you will see this map which gives you a sense of what is there right now.

But I’d also like to talk about something that is bothering me.
