Knowledge Towers

Looming over the landscape of Ko-Metru are the Knowledge Towers, great crystalline structures that house the accumulated knowledge of thousands of years of Matoran civilization. You are more than welcome to marvel at the amazing architecture, but don't try to tour a Tower. The public is forbidden from entering Knowledge Towers so that the scholars and seers inside will not be disturbed.

The sole exception to this rule takes place on Naming Days, when ceremonies are held in the Coliseum to honor the achievements of select Matoran. On those days, Knowledge Towers open their astronomical observatories to all citizens, so they can have the joy of watching the shooting stars.

Sculpture Fields

Among the most popular tourist destinations in Metru Nui are the Po-Metru Sculpture Fields. Matoran carvers are always willing to show off their work. But you can do much more than just wander around and look up at huge statues. With the special permission of Turaga Dume, tours are available that allow visitors to see the entire building process.

There are two tours available. In the first, visitors get to see the arrival of a block of solid protodermis and watch it be carved into a statue (on Naming Days, Matoran can even get life-size sculptures made of themselves!) The second tour involves shipments of parts from Ta-Metru and a visit to an assemblers' village to see them turned into a piece of furniture or other useful item.

The Great Temple

Spiritual center of the city, the Great Temple attracts visitors from all over Metru Nui. Once cleared by the Vahki Bordakh to enter, you can marvel at the beautiful interior, tour the ancient hallways, and if you are very lucky, even see protodermis being purified. Be aware that visitors are now forbidden to approach the Toa suva, due to a rash of thefts from the chamber prior to Toa Lhikan's disappearance.

Protodermis Falls

A stunning Matoran-made wonder, the protodermis falls attracts hundreds of citizens every year anxious to see the beautiful waters. It is also the starting point for boat tours of Metru Nui, operated by Macku. Swimming in the falls, although not illegal, is not recommended and should definitely not be done in front of Vahki Bordakh.

The Great Furnace

Closed for renovations

The Archives

The Great Archives are open to the public every day. Visitors are restricted to the top five levels only. Here you can see exhibits of Matoran art, a wide variety of Rahi in stasis tubes, samples of ancient Matoran tools and carvings, and much more. Tours are available and are highly recommended, not only because they are informative but because it is easy to get lost in the Archives. Sub-level access is permitted for archivists only, due to the number of dangerous creatures housed down below.

This week, see the special Po-Matoran "Rahi Sculptures" exhibition on Level 2 and the "Art of Mask Making" display on Level 4.
