Museum of History

The Museum of History or Museum of American History is a former museum turned Ghoul settlement located in Washington, D.C. $$

Layout
The Museum of History can be accessed through the metro. One route is via Anacostia Crossing Station, following the tracks into Museum Station. The museum is on the north side of the Mall, north and a little east of the Washington Monument. Its east and west wings straddle the Museum station western exit. Willow, the Underworld sentry, can be found patrolling the area between the metro station and the museum entrance.

The structure itself is relatively undamaged, but most of the exhibits have been destroyed or ruined. A T-Rex skeleton and Woolly Mammoth are found at the entrance, which also serves as the entrance to Underworld, a city of ghouls. The museum also houses a number of artifacts of Abraham Lincoln such as Lincoln's Repeater and Hat.

Outside of Underworld, the museum is inhabited by Feral Ghouls, Glowing Ones and Reavers. With the Broken Steel, a Ghoul named Griffon can be found here selling The Amazing Aqua Cura! which is Aqua Pura with a "secret ingredient."

Appearances
The Museum of History appears only $$

Bugs

 * When the player first enters the lower levels of the Museum of History, the Feral Ghouls, Reavers, and one Glowing One may not attack the player. They may just run around after each other, not attacking the player until attacked, while appearing as enemies on the player's radar.
 * If the player wears the ghoul mask into the abandoned portion of the Museum of History, not only will the Feral Ghouls refrain from attacking, but the Automated Turrets will not target the player.
 * It is possible to re-lock the exhibit security gates, after they have been picked, by hacking the nearby computer and closing them. You may then proceed to pick the locks again using this method, gaining XP (fixed in patch 1.1).
 * When leaving Underworld, while walking through the museum entrance, your followers will disappear. This does not happen with Fawkes, due to the fact that it is his waiting point. The followers should reappear on exiting the area. Followers may materialize through the door a few seconds after you have left, rather than just appearing instantly.
 * Sometimes after destroying the turrets the shooting sound effects will continue to play.
 * Sometimes when fast traveling to the museum, a super mutant will spawn inside the museum's cell. The only way to get to the super mutant is to use the console command of and walk through the building. It can be killed and looted normally.
