Fan Events

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

This page is about fanon. It may link back to the source material, but do not consider the subject of this page canon.

Fan events are not officially licensed, and can vary wildly, from virtual meetups to convention panels to museum sleepovers. This page is essentially a dumping ground for local events that use the literal phrase "night at the museum" and some vague imagery (mostly T. rex skeletons and monkeys). You'll also find more of these on the Bootleg page, which is where we put the more soulless events like MLMs.

Museum Sleepovers

Virtual Events

NatM Week

A fan week, where each day has a different prompt. Run by riv_styx.[3] The prompts are saved here, listed in chronological order.

The Night At The Museum Big Bang

A Big Bang is a fandom event where fans collaborate to write long-form stories, often accompanied with artwork. The summer of 2015 was the time when NatM got one! The stories written had a 10k minimum. The entries have been archived to the Library page. The event itself is archived on its Tumblr.
