Museum

Museums were places where humans and many other species exhibited items of scientific, artistic or historical importance.

The Eleventh Doctor said he liked to visit museums and look at the exhibits as a way of "keeping score". He was very critical of any errors in the artefacts or labelling. (TV: The Time of Angels)

The First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki visited a museum on Xeros in which they found exhibits of themselves. (TV: The Space Museum)

The Fourth Doctor and Romana I visited a museum run by the Collectors to retrieve a disabled K9 Mark II. (PROSE: Heart of TARDIS)

The Tenth Doctor discovered a museum dedicated to all his lives and had to remember events from his previous incarnations to restore his fading memories. (COMIC: The Forgotten)

The Eleventh Doctor brought Amy Pond to see a Vincent van Gogh exhibit in Musée d'Orsay in Paris in 2010, as compensation for her fiancé's death. (although she didn't remember it) (TV: Cold Blood) The Doctor noticed something wrong with one of the paintings; The Church at Auvers: an evil creature painted into one of its windows. He therefore immediately travelled to visit van Gogh and rid the town of the monster. Once the being was dispatched, the painting hanging in the Musée d'Orsay no longer had a Krafayis in the windows. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
