"It's kind of how we pass the time."

This page is about a fan project. Do not consider the subject of this page canon.

The Night at the Museum Fan Zine was a project that began on 3 October 2021 and lasted until 8 December 2022. The project brought together 58 artists and 5 writers, with a total 63 works of art and 5 fanfictions written (compiled in a collection titled Notes from the Museum).

The artists involved began in Europe, and quickly spread to include artists from all over the world. The subjects depicted are from all three of the LAT, making it a true celebration of the era as a whole.

The zine was made for charity, and at the end of its sale period, over 8,000 Euros were raised and donated to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).

History

A Q&A session was held via CuriousCat on 12 October 2021, and was open until the project closed. CuriousCat went bankrupt the same year, making all questions asked lost media. Applications for participation opened 24 October 2021 and closed 14 November 2021. Participants could sign up to be a Restorer (art and merchandise design) or a Cryptographer (fanfiction author).

Artists were announced in alphabetical order daily from 12 December 2021 to 7 February 2022.

Orders were available from 3 April 2022 to 1 May 2022. Digital copies were sent out on 29 August 2022, and all physical copies were sent out by 6 September 2022. Later, on 1 November 2022, the leftover sale began; and ended by 1 December 2022.

Various bundles were made available for the project, which are as follows:
