Ok, this is the current state of my Godly Protection account (it's on Perseus .en, named God Squad. Town is Babel, on 59:33).
Carpenter, Architect, Optician, Firework T.A. =Lvl 50 (Firework TA actually L51 as I upgraded the wrong building recently when the damn program reset in the middle of my session);
Town Hall=L6, recently upgraded from L4 using Premium account;
Depot=L23;
2xWarehouse=L30 each;
Forester, Stonemason =L33;
Glassblower=L32 (started on Crystal island, switched to Marble after the last server merge);
Academy=L19;
Tavern=L30;
Barracks=L26;
Shipyard=L19;
Sea Chart Archive=L40;
Trading Port=L42;
Trading Post=L39; (yes, it's a trading account!)
Town Wall=L20;
Pirate fortress=L15;
Palace=L7 (yeah, no need, but didn't want to waste Traders converting unneeded sulphur, wine, so used them here instead);
God's shrine=L34;
Workshop=L36;
Embassy=L1.
Research: Economic Future=L15, other 4 branches all complete up to but excluding Future L1 (L7 complete for Mythology)
Inventory: assorted stuff, including 31 free Traders, i.e. I've never used Ambrosia on this account.
Town Hall=L6, recently upgraded from L4 using Premium account;
In the help section, it says you can reach level 6 & 7 (the town hall) using premium, The premium is using ambrosia. But you said never used ambrosia. How?
No ambrosia needed. 800 favours gets you 1 day premium account.
Tavern is cheaper and you can build it earlier in the research process (I think); but mainly I can vary the rate of replenishing the population. But honestly, it makes little difference, since I spend no wine on satisfaction. You may well be right that museum is a better choice.
Just use 1 day premium once. When it lapses, you still retain Godly Protection. In correspondence with GF, Iagu confirmed that, so I set up a dummy account on another server to test it. It indeed retained GP after premium ended, so I did the same with the above account.
In other words, spend 800 favours, and in the next 24 hours, while premium operates, upgrade the town hall to L6 (NOT 7, 6 is "max") and then you can start a God's shrine. I wish I'd realised that months ago!

I have questions..
Town Hall=L6, recently upgraded from L4 using Premium account;
In the help section, it says you can reach level 6 & 7 (the town hall) using premium, The premium is using ambrosia. But you said never used ambrosia. How?
And Why tavern, instead Museum?

If you have a 1 day premium account, per week, it allows you to keep the Godly protection?
