In more detail...
The Time Traveller finds the Palace of Green Porcelain in a state of desertion and decay. Exploring inside, he encounters a gallery reminiscent of a museum, with fossil displays, glass cases, and extinct creatures like the megatherium and brontosaurus. The building is identified as a repository of knowledge from a past civilization, featuring galleries of paleontology, mineralogy, and technical chemistry. Despite Weena's inability to comprehend writing, the Time Traveller's finds within the palace, including matches and camphor, renew his hope of defending himself against the Morlocks. He also contemplates the wasted efforts of humanity, evidenced by the decaying remnants of culture and knowledge in the museum.
