Mathom-house

The Mathom-house was a museum in the Shire capital of Michel Delving. Its name was derived from the many Mathoms that were kept there.
== History ==
The museum was probably as old as the town and here according to Hobbit tradition were stored and/or displayed the many Mathoms donated by hobbits of all classes. Some of the main objects featured there was a store of weapons dating back centuries. After his journey to the Lonely Mountain, the Mathom-house held Bilbo's Mithril shirt that was retrieved from Smaug's hoard and given to him by Thorin, which Bilbo lent to the museum until he took it with him to Rivendell.The Hobbit, Chapter XIX: "The Last Stage"The Lord of the Rings, Prologue, I: "Concerning Hobbits"The Lord of the Rings, Prologue, IV: "Of the Finding of the Ring"
==In adaptations==
In The Lord of the Rings Online, the Mathom-house is a reputation-restricted area. Players have to complete several quests for Hobbits of the Shire and turn the mathoms given to them was rewards to "The Mathom Society" before they are recognized for their efforts and allowed entry. Inside, various curiousities can be browsed and some of them purchased.
