It Belongs in a Museum	comment	Stock Phrase expressing just how old and/or valuable a given MacGuffin, Artifact of Doom, or hey, maybe someone's Grampa is. Used in a few different types of plot scenarios. "Don't touch that MacGuffin!" Here, the phrase is usually uttered by the resident Adventurer Archaeologist but can be given by just about any NaÃ¯ve Newcomer or The Everyman who happens to stumble on something very old or valuable while exploring The Ruins. Indiana Jones was most likely either the Trope Maker or the Trope Codifier for this particular type. There are two common variations of this type: In the first, the line serves to establish the character who utters it as a good and trustworthy person, in contrast to the person he's saying this to, who will be (or, more likely, is) devoured by the Green-Eyed Monster and will, in a relatively short time span, Kick the Dog. It's likely that their response to this phrase will, in itself, be a Kick the Dog. The second variation is less straightforward regarding good guys and bad guys. In this scenario, someone finds something old and/or valuable, sometimes in a Personal Effects Reveal, sometimes in some other scenario, but always already in someone's possession and exclaims this. Another person then goes through an explanation as to why it does not, in fact, belong there. Both characters here are quite capable of being good, and the object will most likely not go to a museum in the end, in contrast to the first one, where the object will, but after a major argument and/or Fight Scene. "What a Piece of Junk!" This is a Sarcasm Mode version of Don't Touch That MacGuffin that gains a completely different meaning. In this case, a person is referring disparagingly to something because of its age or it doesn't work properly. The person then says that the thing is "so old/broken/weird it belongs in a museum." Which doesn't mean it won't get used in a pinch. "It's too dangerous for us!" This usually occurs in An Aesop about the Green-Eyed Monster. A group finds a treasure/MacGuffin and decides to split it. But soon, everyone's turning on each other in order to get more than their own share or in order to get the artifact all to himself. Eventually, a truce is reached when the group realizes that what they found is more trouble than it's worth, and the item gets sent to a museum instead. Although, it's a very common story that a MacGuffin, under the care of a museum, will be the target of theft or cause trouble in some way, so it takes a certain amount of Genre Blindness to believe that this really will solve the problem (in such cases, characters may decide that the only safe alternative is to destroy the thing). This trope is also Truth in Television - under UK law, museums get first refusal of any treasure found in British soil, and under Canadian law, mammoth-tusk ivory belongs to Britain. Note that there are some hard feelings related to this trope. Imperial powers dedicated a lot of time and energy to looting their new colonies of every relic, artifact, piece of art, or item of history they could and carting them back to the motherland. This extended to brutally hacking statuary out of walls or off of plinths, leaving hands and feet behind (which are visible in the stolen pieces as off-color replacements and, of course, in the remnants left at home). For decades now, the now liberated former colonies have been demanding the return of their stolen history, with the museums of western Europe steadfastly refusing to return them, citing the White Man's Burden of properly caring for them. Naturally, much of the world doesn't particularly care for an Adventure Archaeologist braving the dangers of a third world country in order to "rescue" native art and transport to his homeland. One modern variant growing out of this sentiment has the more enlightened Adventurer Archaeologist seeking the item not for their own museum, but with the intent of placing it with caretakers within the culture- the desire is to see the artifact respectfully preserved for those it belongs to. This sort will often be pitted against treasure hunters looting historical sites for glory and profit, or those who would seek to use a functional Ancient Artifact for personal gain. Compare to Break Out the Museum Piece, when it may already be in a museum, but is needed elsewhere.

One customer, for instance, had original battle plans for the Normandy invasion, and Rick was eager to buy them until the expert who authenticated them pointed out that they were printed with cheap ink that would fade quickly when exposed to light, making them a risky investment for the shop.

It Belongs in a Museum / int_28c6afce	comment	In Thomas & Friends, The Fat Controller's engines are often told this by other characters due to their age. In "Edward's Exploit", Gordon says that Edward should retire and "be preserved." In "Horrid Lorry", one of the titular lorries tells Toby he belongs in a museum instead of working at a quarry. In "Toby Feels Left Out", the engines are told to get repainted for the opening of the Sodor Museum, except Toby. Toby fears this is because he's being sent to the museum as an exhibit and does everything in his power to prevent it. Naturally this isn't the case, and the Fat Controller was just planning to have Toby fetch the guests for the opening ceremony. In "Heart of Gold", when Toby comes to Ulfstead Castle to fill in for Stephen while the latter is being repaired at the Steamworks, Devious Diesel asks Toby if he's come to be put on display. Some passengers also say that Toby looks like he belongs in a museum when Toby is about to begin the tour of Ulfstead Castle, but they stick up for him at the end of the episode when they learn that Toby stopped a pair of thieves that tried to steal King Godred's crown.

His grandmother being the daughter of the Emperor, Princess Vorbarra and Countess Vorkosigan. When Ekaterin exclaims this line, Miles replies that it was made to be used, and belongs under a fine lady, not glass. After a brief internal debate, Ekaterin realizes that he is right. The one time that Miles made the mistake of showing his attic and its wide selection of century-plus old junk to Commodore Duv Galeni of ImpSec Komarran Affairs, the man promptly reverted to Doctor Professor Duv Galeni of the University of Vorbarr Sultana Department of History and insisted that it all belonged in a museum. There is a similar moment with a valuable old violin in Falling Free. Madame Minchenko used to keep it in a climate-controlled vault, but then she realized that musical instruments are meant to be played.

He does have a point, considering that St. Cloud has been known to use the original Henrietta Pussycat puppet to wash his genitals. But it could also just be Sour Grapes since Billy couldn't begin to afford a collection the size of St. Cloud's. Ironically, Billy has stolen articles from museums on a couple of occasions.

It Belongs in a Museum / int_d6cda7dc	comment	Clem Hetherington has this attitude regarding the Irowood artifacts in the first book. She wants to bring them to Professor Perton in the hopes he'll finally let her come along on an archaeological expedition, whereas Kilburn wants to sell them on the black market to get himself out of debt.

It Belongs in a Museum / int_edaa765e	comment	Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the Trope Namer, where the line gets used twice in the introduction, first as noted in the Page Quote (when Indy is a teenaged Scout) and later when Indy is a full-fledged adventurer. Both refer to the same object, the Cross of Coronado. Note that this example falls under both Don't Touch That MacGuffin (again, when Indy says it) and What a Piece of Junk (Panama Hat's retort).
