Why is the Palace of Green Porcelain important to the story?

       The Time Traveler enters the Palace, which is truly made of green porcelain, with Weena. As they begin to examine the dusty building, the Time Traveler describes the scene. "We found, instead of a customary hall, a long gallery lit by many side windows. At first glance I was reminded of a museum."(85) The building was sincerely a library or some sort of museum. There were books and artifacts scattered about the large building. The dust surrounding the vast variety of information symbolizes the information becoming lost or unused and a loss of civilized nature. The only use of this building now is a path to the underworld of the Morlocks which they protagonists soon find out.
