Often times, in a Video Game, there will be unusually designed levels that present different kinds of challenges. Sometimes those levels will just deliver the game's content in a different way. The Museum Level is a special place in a video game that can be encountered through normal play. There are a few variations of it, but the concept remains the same - it resembles or declares itself as a museum, and features things like objects, enemies, bosses, and environments from the game, often in their own "exhibits" showing text. This text often describes the exhibits (varying in Watsonian versus Doylist perspectives) and is sometimes accompanied by Concept Art or prototypes. There is a distinct difference between an in-game encyclopedia or menu and a museum level. The difference is that the museum level can be encountered as a level in normal gameplay, while an encyclopedia has to be accessed from the main menu or options. Also, this can't be just any level with a museum. In order to qualify, the Museum Level needs to have exhibits based on the game itself. A good rule of thumb is that the exhibits should feel more like they're leaning on or breaking the Fourth Wall than just being something In-Universe. Not to Be Confused with Debug Room, Dummied Out, or Museum Game. Compare and contrast Developer's Room. |

Bioshock Infinite: Clash In The Clouds features the Columbian Archeological Society as the Hub Level; between battles in the various locales across Columbia, you return here to admire the galleries of advertisements and kinetoscopes - and collect ammo and equipment for the next mission. However, with your winnings from the various battles, you can also purchase plot-revealing voxophones, concept art, statues of various characters and enemies from across the game, and other expansions to the museum. | |

Kirby's Adventure features "Museum" rooms across the world map, where motionless enemies can be found on pedestals; these rooms exist mainly to give Kirby a quick way to gain specific copy abilities, including some that are otherwise rare. | |

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: A museum level is visible in (and playable after) the credits, showing characters from each of the levels in the game. The hallways between the exhibit halls have weapons from the game visible too, and can be equipped when the level is played. There's a hidden button which causes all of the characters from the exhibits to turn hostile and start attacking the player. | |

Final Fantasy VII Remake: As the group infiltrates the Shinra tower to rescue Aerith, they wind up taking a tour of the Shinra Museum located there. The first part is a shrine to President Shinra, while the second deals with the Shinra divisions, and includes much of their technology and personnel. Lampshaded when Tifa says it looks so familiar, to which Barrett boasts, "'Cause we've destroyed a bunch of 'em already." It ends with a sort of holographic movie about Shinra's ultimate goals for the planet, and then Sephiroth hijacks it, showing them a vision of Meteor destroying Midgar. | |

Later installments of Paper Mario feature a museum dedicated to Mario's adventures, which can be accessed from the Hub Level: Paper Mario: Sticker Star features the Sticker Museum, where Mario can place stickers he finds in gameplay to unlock humorous profiles and detailed stats. There's also a music player and simulated battles against each enemy, unlocked as 100% completion bonuses. Paper Mario: Color Splash has the similar Prisma Museum, where Mario can deposit his cards for more details, view concept art, and listen to music tracks. Paper Mario: The Origami King continues this trend with the Musee Champignon in Toad Town. In addition to the Concept Art Gallery and Sound Test, there's a Monster Compendium featuring interactive 3D models of every origami character in the game. It also has a showcase of Mario's collectible treasures and trophies. |

The Secret World features the British Museum of the Occult, a Museum of the Strange and Unnatural accessible from the London Hub Level; here, every single enemy and boss of the game is given a modifiable display, complete with a plaque explaining it in detail. However, the twist is that you actually have to help build this museum by contributing XP to build the exhibits. On the upside, as a patron of the museum, you get a very nifty statue of yourself in the concourse. | |

Every mainline Animal Crossing game since the GameCube installments includes a large museum that can be filled with the bugs, fish, sea creatures, fossils, and artwork that you've given to Blathers. He'll describe each item you donate in most games, and they can be seen on display right after. Animal Crossing: New Leaf trades out Blathers' lectures for Flavor Text on each exhibit, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons restores the lectures for everything except artwork, which still has blurbs about the real-life pieces on their displays. The main purpose of all these items in the first place is to fill up the museum. | |
