Turns out that textures and lighting are actually quite important

I may have got a bit carried away with the bookshelves.
The Library room in The Endless Museum. A towering spiral of bookshelves reaches towards the ceiling between two staircases leading to upper galleries. Smaller book towers and labelled article doorways surround it.

I put a bench in front of Jupiter in case you need a minute.
A small wooden bench faces a large model of Jupiter in a brass ring at the centre of a bright museum gallery. Framed exhibits and doorways labelled with related Wikipedia articles line the walls.

I was trying to get to Ancient Rome. Somehow I'm in a cheese gallery.

Making Wikipedia into a building has involved a surprising amount of worrying about where to put the doors.
A tall open doorway in the Mathematics gallery reveals a large exhibit hall beyond. Smaller arched doors on either side are labelled Number theory and Adelard of Bath.

I've put a door to the tropics in the snow room. Seems only fair.
Snow falls across an outdoor museum landscape with pine trees and mountains. Freestanding article doors surround the exhibits; a door labelled Tropics stands on the right.

You can play Pong in here. This is not helping me finish making the game.
A playable Pong cabinet in a bright museum gallery. Its screen shows two paddles, a 0–0 score and an E — Play prompt. Photographs of Pong machines and doors to related articles surround it.

I know I made it but I still don't think a door marked Mouthfeel should exist.
A two-storey museum hall for Cheese, with patterned walls, paintings of cheese and a large gramophone. Doors around the upper balcony are labelled Dairy product, Milk, Mouthfeel and Fat.

Things get placed along the walls in a fixed order, and each one reserves its stretch. For quite a while every wall map ended up on a table instead, because the doors were placed first and used up all the wall.
The France room, a large hall lit from above with a map of France on the wall to the left, a raised terrace with brass letters in the floor, and doors labelled Geography and Flag of France.

Drawing the next room through a doorway took three passes. Mark the doorway pixels in the stencil buffer, reset the depth inside that mark, then draw the room beyond restricted to the mark.
Looking through a tall open doorway in the Mathematics room into a lit gallery beyond, with doors labelled Number theory and Adelard of Bath either side.

The article about Easter eggs has an Easter egg in it. It's under glass. Press E.
A pale egg under a glass dome on a white plinth in the middle of a barrel-vaulted gallery, lit by shafts of light.

Every room is generated from a random number generator seeded with the article title, so the Cheese room looks the same for everyone. It's very useful when something goes wrong, as I can go back and get the same layout.
A tall galleried hall in the Cheese room with a central column, a gramophone on a stand, paintings on easels and doors labelled Dairy product and Fat on the upper tier.

The Recursion room has a door marked Recursion. It goes to the Recursion room.
A doorway labelled Recursion in a burgundy gallery wall, beside an arched window.

Something people ask about quite a lot: the rooms in the museum actually overlap each other. There's no sensible way to fit every Wikipedia article into one building, so I stopped trying.
Looking through an open archway in the Botany room into a darker gallery beyond, with a painting lit at its far end. Doors labelled Myristica fragrans and Nutmeg stand either side.

No DLSS 5, just art direction. The same Wikipedia article, early prototype vs now.

I turned Wikipedia into a museum you can walk through. Every article is a room; every hyperlink is a doorway. Here's a quick tour of the elements, set to Tom Lehrer. Sound on! Explore The Endless Museum free in your browser: theendlessmuseum.com #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame
