The '''Monkey Museum''', alternatively '''Cranky's Monkey Museum'''<ref name=manual>{{cite|language=en-us|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=26|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> and renamed '''[[Cranky's Hut]]''' in the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], is a site where [[Cranky Kong]] has taken up residence in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. There is an establishment in every area of [[Crocodile Isle]] except [[The Flying Krock]]. Like its predecessor, [[Cranky's Cabin]], the main purpose of the Monkey Museum is for [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] receive tips and advice from Cranky, with even the background music being a rearrangement of that of Cranky's Cabin. Cranky does not rant as frequently in Monkey Museum, usually only doing so when the Kongs enter and exit the location. The Kongs can now choose which advice to hear from Cranky, differing between each world as it involves their levels, and is either free or priced anywhere between one to three [[Banana Coin]]s.

Various artifacts appear in the background of the Monkey Museum, including [[Banana]]s, a [[Rare]] symbol, a [[Nintendo]] logo, an oversized [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] controller, a ''{{iw|strategywiki|Killer Instinct}}'' arcade cabinet, a [[Donkey Kong]] statue above the arcade cabinet, a poster of {{wp|List of Killer Instinct characters#Chief Thunder|Chief Thunder}} from ''Killer Instinct'', [[Funky Kong]]'s surfboard, a mounted [[Kruncha]] head, a motionless [[Winky]] figure, a "[[Donkey Kong|DK]]" symbol, a golden [[Expresso]] statue, a [[Banana Coin]], two [[barrel]]s, a tipped over [[Mine Cart]], two pirate swords, and game cartridges.

Cranky occasionally asks the Kongs if they have tried the game "Cranky Kong Country," mentioning it was on sale a year ago. In reality, this is directly based on ''Donkey Kong Country'' releases one year prior in real life. Even though he dislikes the game, Cranky takes credit for causing its popularity instead of Donkey Kong. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Cranky has a [[Cranky's Dojo|dojo]], where he trains himself for the same adventure, ''Cranky Kong Country'', likely hoping for a successful game starring himself.

In the remake, Cranky keeps his pet, [[Expresso]], caged up in the hut for the players to raise and enhance his stats using [[golden feather]]s for the [[minigame]], [[Expresso Racing]]. The shelves display trophies from winning the Expresso Racing minigame in their usual gold, silver, and bronze colors for if the player wins first, second, and third place, respectively. The outside is more clearly seen, due to the zoomed-in world map compared to the original version The interior is completely different, especially from no longer featuring cameos from other Rare-owned properties, not including the Rare logo atop Expresso's cage.
