The Varrock Museum, previously the major drop party location for Varrock parties, has been renovated. Free players are now restricted to the ground floor only, while members are able to access the basement, the second and third floors where - on all floors though, players will find information about the story and history of Gielinor (RuneScape).

The Museum offers more experienced adventurers rewards for sharing knowledge with the museum that they have learned during their adventures (members only). The more you help the museum, the more Kudos points you earn.

There are four levels to the building:

1. The Basement: Natural History; this exhibit educates players about the lesser-known animals in Runescape. You can gain Kudos here by completing quizzes.
2. The Ground floor: Digsite Cleaning Area; here you can help out the museum (if you have completed the Dig Site quest) by checking rocks for artefacts. Minor pieces you find will be traded for ores or bronze - iron weaponry, major items you can give to the museum for kudos.
3. First and Second floors: The Historical Time line exhibit; here you can donate information gained from quests for larger amounts of Kudos. This area also tells the entire history of RuneScape when completed.

Currently the maximum amount of Kudos you can earn is 153. At 100 you will be invited to help at a special dig site - speak to the Museum Curator to access this.

In this exhibit in the museum's basement, you can push buttons on displays to see the creatures within them "come to life". Speaking to the Natural Historians will activate cut-scenes where they talk to you about each animal. Pets are not allowed to be following you in here.

To earn Kudos here, speak to Orlando Smith, the explorer near the staircase. He'll talk to you about the museum and then say that if you go around the room and study each plaque next to a case, he will quiz you. Answering each quiz correctly will earn you Kudos. For each case, you usually need to answer three questions correctly; this isn't hard as many of the answers can be found by speaking to the Natural Historian.

There are several harder quizzes such as the one for the Kalphite Queen that asks for specific words they use to describe her shell. If you are stumped on any of the harder quizzes it's a good idea to watch the cut-scenes as they will highlight all the points in the quiz. If you fail a question you will be given another one which is usually easier.

On the ground floor you can learn about some of the oldest artefacts in the game, often related to the RuneScape Gods. The artefacts give clues to distant times in RuneScape's past, such as what civilizations lived where, and when.

To earn Kudos, firstly you must have completed the Dig Site quest. Go through the barrier and collect leather gloves, boots, a rock pick and a specimen brush off of the wall. Grab a rock from the pile in the room and use it with a free table; you will then clean it up to see if it is valuable or not.

If the specimen proves to be something such as pottery, anything god related, or coins, speak to one of the NPCs at the tables. They will tell you either to put them into a display or to drop them into a crate if they aren't worth much (when you do the latter you receive a small reward). Artefacts you collect from the Pyramid Plunder mini-game cannot be given to the museum for Kudos. If it is valuable you will have to go through the gate into the area with the displays and place the artefact in the correct display. Once you have reached 50 Kudos you have completed this room.

• Old coin to case 44 for 10 kudos
• Pottery to case 22 for 10 kudos
• Ancient symbol to 37 for 10 kudos
• Old symbol to 36 for 10 kudos
• Shiny coin to 45 for 10 kudos

Note: You can also find a Clean Necklace when searching for artefacts. Use the amulet with an archaeologist and he will teach how to enchant ruby necklaces. Afterwards you can enchant ruby necklaces into Digsite Pendants, which can teleport you to the Digsite five times before breaking.

On the first and second floors you can learn about the history of RuneScape from the very beginning to present. It's interesting if you want to remember quest story lines or if you enjoy history involving the Gods. Exhibits include statues of creatures in RuneScape, maps, diagrams of RuneScape in the past, and replicas that represent times in quests that you have completed.

In order to complete the entire time line in the museum you need to have completed the quests listed below. However, you can still work on the exhibit, but you can only work on the ones for which you have completed the quest of. Talk to the Historian near the staircase and he will begin adding any information you have to offer to the exhibit.

• Case 3: What Lies Below
• Case 7: Slug Menace
• Case 9: Merlin's Crystal
• Case 10: The Grand Tree
• Case 17: Observatory Quest
• Case 18: Shield of Arrav
• Case 20: A Tail Of Two Cats
• Case 21: Rune Mysteries Quest
• Case 23: Darkness Of Hallowvale
• Case 24: Shield of Arrav

• Case 28: Temple of Ikov and you must obtain Ghostly Gear.
• Case 30: The Golem
• Case 42: The Dig Site
• Case 46: Making History
• Case 46: Hazeel Cult

Note: You don't need to bring old quest items to fill the cases, the museum makes replicas, except for the tome from the What Lies Below quest, which can be reobtained from the Varrock Library if misplaced. Also, you receive an antique lamp for every four quests completed.

• Digsite Cleaning Area: 50 Kudos and items you traded for lesser artefacts.
• Time Line Exhibit: 75 Kudos, three 1k experience antique lamps and one 10k lamp.

If you reach 100 Kudos points and speak the Curator of the Museum he will invite you to join them on a new digsite north of Morytania. Furthermore by speaking to the Information clerk you will receive 1k experience in Mining for 51+ Kudos, 2.5k experience in Crafting and Mining for 101+, and for 151 Kudos or more: 4k experience in Crafting, Hunter, Prayer, Slayer and Smithing.
