Basement (Natural History section)


The basement is the Natural history section. Here are various creatures on display, and when you push the button the creature comes to life. All the creatures include a Red dragon, Tortoise, Desert lizard, Skeletal Wyvern, Kalphite Queen, Terrorbird, Snail, two Sea slugs, Snake, Penguin, Camel, Leech, Giant Mole and a Monkey.

Once a player has talked to Orlando Smith, they may answer questions on each case. after getting three right on one case, that case is done, and the player is granted 2 kudos. When a player has answered the wrong answer the previous answers won't be reset. It's also possible to have one question more times.

Once all questions on every display case downstairs are answered, it will be possible to get 1.000 experience in Slayer and Hunter by talking to Orlando Smith.

Completing the Natural History Section will give a total of 28 kudos.

Ground floor
The ground floor is the main floor of the museum. The ground floor is dedicated to artifacts from the Digsite.

Specimen cleaning
The south end of the ground floor is partitioned off for the processing of incoming samples from the Digsite. A player can earn Kudos in this section by helping the archeology staff clean off incoming samples.

Requirements
Players wishing to participate must have completed the Digsite Quest. Additionally, the player must be wearing leather boots and leather gloves and must also be holding a trowel, rock pick and specimen brush. All of these items are available from the tool rack on the south wall of the museum.

Participation
Start by taking an uncleaned find from the Dig Site specimen rocks pile. Use the uncleaned find on one of the empty Specimen tables to clean the sample.

Once a player finds something interesting, they may show it to one of the four archaeologists in the room, who will then tell them what case to put the object in. Putting a sample in the correct case results in a reward of 10 Kudos. Completion of the digsite participation section yields 50 kudos.

The display case numbers are not in order. This is a map of case numbers with the top of map being North.

Some samples are not of interest to the archaeologists. These samples must be disposed of in one of the storage crates found in the south-east corner of the area. Disposing of a sample will give a player a random reward from the storage crate, usually of very small worth.

A special specimen is the Clean necklace, which appears as a Ruby necklace. Instead of recommending the player to place a Clean necklace in a display case, the archaeologist will teach the player how to enchant a Ruby necklace into a Digsite pendant.

Second floor
There are many display cases on this level. If you talk one of the museum staff here, and tell them about your quests, they will reward you with kudos and antique lamps, which give 1,000 experience in any chosen skill. There's also a lamp which gives 10,000 experience in a skill above 50, which Minas hands out after reaching the maximum of 153 Kudos. The quest stories result in filling the corresponding display case in the museum.

Talking to Minas at entrance of the upstairs museum section about quests gives kudos for relating stories on the following quests and/or miniquests:

Free quests Members quests After the The Golem quest, you'll have stolen the Statuette, that's why the case is empty so case 30 will be empty and stay empty. Minas will hand out 75 Kudos in total.
 * Demon Slayer
 * Rune Mysteries (really!)
 * Shield of Arrav
 * Ghostly robes miniquest (10 kudos)
 * Making History
 * Merlin's Crystal
 * Observatory Quest
 * Priest in Peril (for case 23)
 * A Tail of Two Cats
 * Temple of Ikov
 * What Lies Below (requires bringing the Dagon'hai history book from the Varrock castle library)

This section is also a timeline, with all the exhibits in chronological order. The timeline continues even upstairs.

Third floor
There are more display cases here, along with an art critic. It also shows a display of a gnome glider (10), as well as a portrait of King Lathas (46).

Goofs
If perchance you happen to find a Zarosian Symbol (case 37), when you read the information after placing the symbol in, the game states it's a Saradomin Symbol, not a Zarosian Symbol.
