MUSEUM QUAKE

MUSEUM QUAKE or MUSEUM is a Single Player and Multiplayer level. This level features an art museum.

Numerous custom paintings line the walls, many made from scratch by Steve Rescoe, with various hidden things behind some of them. There is also a small library, as well as a section involving riding on a stone dragon. This level also features a functional Chthon battle at the end.

While Deathmatch is supported, bots such as The Reaper Bot tend to get stuck in this level, especially in the Slime sections.
