No. 492: The Artwork in the Attic
“Pay to see them!” gasps Declan Gutenberg, the Maxtopian Minister of Culture and part-time art critic. “There are paintings of great historical and cultural value to my country in that collection! They should be returned to Maxtopia with all due haste! Just imagine ‘The Fall of St. Barrysburg’ hanging on the walls of the Maxtopian National Museum in the very room where it was painted by Whilhelm Daniel Negan as the noises of war reached his ears from outside his study. Does it not stir your soul?”
So was the museum the artist's studio? Because that's kind of a strange choice for an art studio.

I always got the impression that it was a former artists' studio that has been restored and preserved as a museum, perhaps similar to Monet's former home at Giverny (only with the original pieces).

I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be stationery, not stationary.

Mesozoic Park, the largest dinosaur zoo in the country, has made the headlines for yet another disastrous dinosaur escape. Apparently, the gate of a Tyrannosaurus Rex pen malfunctioned, giving the horde of formerly captive reptiles a window to flee their enclosure. The liberated T-Rex horde then proceeded to cross in an ill-advised tunnel link to the mainland, stowed away on a freight train driven by a truly oblivious driver, and somehow ended up on a rampage through @@CAPITAL@@, killing hundreds and wrecking city infrastructure. Following the crisis, many citizens are calling for the closure of dinosaur zoos.

Yeah, never noticed that. Will tweak it.

Apologies for the over-rule there, Joy, did this before reading your answer. Think it works better this way anyway.

You wrote "the" twice. Also, I think "Pay to see them!" should be "Pay to see them?!" That way it sounds more like he/she is outraged.

"Related" and "relayed" are both equally acceptable here.
