_The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler_ by E. L. Kongisburg (or
Konigsberg?) is a children's book, but it was a major thing for me when I
was a kid. People on the Museumpeople group on Livejournal.com agreed.

Most of the plot of the old computer game "The Dagger of Amon Ra: A Laura
Bow Mystery" took place in a museum.

Most of the museums I recall in movies are there as a set-up for some kind
of pulp adventure.
