The Museum
The Museum of the Occult is a feature that allows for a personalized museum gallery.
The Museum functions additionally as a form of horizontal progression, requiring the use of Anima Shards for pedestals within the museum and allowing eventual purchase of a series Gadgets known as Mnemonic Guardians, which aid a player in battle.
The British Museum of the Occult is in need of a new benefactor to help replace its various missing exhibits. That benefactor is YOU.
The Museum is accessible in Ealdwic, London, south of Temple Hall in a small corner of Honesty Yard (300,270) and is available to players early in the course of the game. In fact, it can be reached as soon as a player makes it to London.
Players can enter each others’ museums, which can hold a maximum capacity of 50 people.
The Museum contains a number of wings and exhibits for a player to fill out and explore.
This guide will be frequently and heavily updated to account for all new information about the Museum of the Occult! Some information may pertain to content not yet relaunched with Secret World Legends.
The Museum of the Occult has its own legend to discover. See our Legend list here!
Wings
There are thirteen total wings within the Museum of the Occult. Twelve are available in their entirety, while the thirteenth is currently only partially accessible.
Each wing is based on a geographic area or theme within that area and encompasses different Monster Family displays concerning the associated theme. The Oddities and Curios wing is associated with Seasonal events.
Each wing contains a special Centerpiece exhibit. At this time, the Oddities wing is lacking a centerpiece due to its incomplete nature.

Oddities
To open a wing, a Curator’s Contract must be purchased from the Curator in your museum. The Curator’s Contract – First Draft will unlock the first three wings of your choice from the museum, while the Curator’s Contract – Second Draft will be necessary for the fourth, fifth, and sixth wing, and so on up until the Fourth Draft. Each draft costs an increasing amount of Anima Shards.
A special contract, the Curator’s Contract – Curios and Oddities, can be purchased from the Curator for 1 500 Anima Shards and unlocks the thirteenth wing.
Find the door of the desired wing and right-click on it. If a Curator’s Contract is present, it will be consumed to unlock the corresponding wing.
Mnemonic Pedestals
Pedestals are customizable displays for the Museum that come in four rarities. Each rarity unlocks a new pose or version of a monster to display. Unlocked poses can be cycled through for further customization and personalization of the Museum once the Paragon Pedestal for that particular exhibit has been unlocked.
Pedestals can be purchased from the Curator of the Museum for Anima Shards.
Unlocking a pedestal requires a certain amount of Bestiary Legends, as well as a certain number of monsters killed depending on the quality of the pedestal. Some require unique achievements on top of the Monster Family kills and Legend collection.
A free Classic Mnemonic Pedestal is awarded for opening the first wing of the museum.
- Classic Mnemonic Pedestals cost 1 000 Anima Shards.
- Superior Mnemonic Pedestals cost 10 000 Anima Shards and potentially require a special drop to use.
- Paragon Mnemonic Pedestals cost 50 000 Anima Shards and potentially require a special drop to use.
To use a Superior or Paragon Pedestal, special items are required that are linked to that particular exhibit.
Creating a Paragon level pedestal exhibit will unlock editing mode for the Museum and rewards the achievement Paragon Exhibitor.
A Paragon Pedestal upgrade allows swapping through the various previous pedestals of that particular exhibit.
Special items are also required to upgrade some pedestals to Superior or Paragon. They drop off the mob type associated with the Exhibit.

Mnemonic Centerpieces
Mnemonic Centerpieces are large displays in each Wing of the Museum. The centerpiece, like the pedestal exhibits surrounding it, has various levels to unlock.
To use a centerpiece, one must also have all exhibits in the particular wing at a certain level. Classic centerpieces require all exhibits in the wing have Classic pedestals, for example.

- Superior Centerpiece Mnemonic Pedestals cost 20 000 Anima Shards and require a special drop to use.
- Paragon Centerpiece Mnemonic Pedestals cost 100 000 Anima Shards and require a special drop to use.
A Centerpiece displays not a generic monster family, but of a specific individual, such as a boss, that best exemplifies and embodies the theme of the Wing in which the centerpiece sits.
Both the monster in the centerpiece and the scene around it are upgraded as the centerpiece is. As with normal pedestals, once the Paragon level is unlocked, different poses can be chosen, although the scene will remain the same throughout the poses.

Mnemonic Guardians
Mnemonic Guardians are series of Gadgets allowing a monster to aid a player in battle. The Guardian will appear and cast or use an ability inherent to that Monster and then vanish immediately afterwards.
A Guardian can either aid in DPS, healing, or survival in some form.
Guardians are tied to each Centerpiece Pedestal, and better quality Guardians are unlocked as one unlocks better Centerpieces of a wing in the Museum.
