Production
The Museum entered production in summer 2003,[5] before the A Peculiar Event Contest was announced. Filming began with the LEGO Studios camera, and after about a minute and a half had been filmed, the camera was replaced with a Sony Handycam, leading to a noticable change in picture quality.
Jonathan Williams' brother, David "Mellow" Williams, directed a film about the sentient skull from The Museum after it escapes called The Adventures of Murray , and this was also an entry into the A Peculiar Event Contest.
