Cohen's

Cohen's (also known as The Garden of the Muses) is a private club located in High Street and owned by renowned Rapture artist Sander Cohen.

History
While Fort Frolic was open to the public and Sander Cohen's chief place of business and exhibition, he desired a more private setting where he could unwind and create without being bothered by the common citizens. With that in mind, he established his private club open only to local artists, artisans, and those Cohen deemed worthy of witnessing his craft.

Outside the impressive building, men in bunny masks perform interpretive dance. The anteroom to the club is a large, completely white chamber. From there, a dark bunny mask-shaped tunnel connects to the actual club, a two story facility decorated according to Sander Cohen's particular aesthetics.

On the upper floor, cameras project images of Cohen's face onto large busts suspended via cables alongside giant papier-mâché rosebuds. A winding staircase leads to the lower floor where bathtubs are set up around a reflecting pool. At the center of the pool is a pedestal upon which a subject would stand for Cohen to paint.

Burial at Sea - Episode 1
Elizabeth informs Booker DeWitt that Cohen may know of Sally's location. Booker has misgivings, but, with no other leads, the two head to Cohen's to speak with the composer.

On New Years Eve, Cohen is hosting a private production "The Business of Rapture is Business," and the doorman prevents Booker and Elizabeth from entering. The duo head out the event's sponsors (Artist's Struggle, The Golden Rule, and Rapture Records) to find the Masks of Invitation needed to enter the show.

After obtaining the mask, they are granted permission to enter. Inside rabbits romp about the club as an accordion rendition of "Waltz of the Flowers" plays. Masked individuals watch as Cohen works on an abstract painting influenced by a waltzing couple (wearing lunar and solar masks) on the center pedestal. All seems to be going well until Cohen grows irate with the uninspired performance, gives a command to Kyle Fitzpatrick, and the dancers are electrocuted. Whether they are dead or just unconscious, the pair are reeled up to dangle above the pedestal.

Booker and Elizabeth approach Cohen and inquire about Sally. The mad artist senses something ethereal about Elizabeth and cautions Booker. However, he admits to knowing the missing girl's location and promises to send them to her provided that the duo dance for him first. The two acquiesce then share a waltz as a masked man near the reflecting pool strikes up Cohen's Scherzo on the accordion. Cohen is, at first, inspired, but quickly grows frustrated at his new subjects' performance and the two are shocked. Cohen delivers a cryptic statement before Booker passes out.
