The '''Museum''' ('''Gallery Corner''' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'') is a location in the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]] that exhibits numerous [[Game & Watch]] titles. Most of the Museum's games are playable through the ''Game & Watch Gallery'' series, and some of them are for display only.

== History ==
=== ''Game & Watch Gallery'' ===
[[File:G&WG Gallery Corner.png|thumb|left|''Game & Watch Gallery''{{'}}s Gallery Corner]]
The Game & Watch Museum in the first ''Game & Watch Gallery'' game is called "Gallery Corner" and has a total of 16 games. It is hosted by [[Mario]]. The games are unlocked by obtaining 400 and 800 [[point]]s in the Modern and Classic versions of ''Manhole'', ''Fire'', ''Octopus'', and ''Oil Panic'' (any difficulty). Inside the games, the release date, the series it was released (in certain games, some trivia information), and a description are given. It has the same music as the Game Select screen, and every column has its own song (the third and fourth columns have the music from Tips & Attacks and Notes, respectively).

In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'', the Museum has a total of 24 games (including the ones from ''Game & Watch Gallery''). It is still hosted by Mario. It now shows the handheld device from its original release. The games are unlocked by collecting 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 stars. Outside the games, the release date and the series for which each one was released are shown, and inside the games, the description appears. To unlock the complete Museum, 120 stars and linking to ''Game & Watch Gallery'' (must have 1,000 points in all eight games) are required.

== Trivia ==
*''Vermin''{{'}}s appearance in ''Game & Watch Gallery'' is very similar to the one from ''Game Boy Gallery''. In ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' and ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'', its appearance is from its Silver version.
*''Manhole''{{'}}s appearance is the one from the Gold series. In ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'', it still has the Gold version sprites but has the New Wide Screen version background colors.
*''Oil Panic'' is the only game to be playable before being a Museum title. It is one of the playable games in ''Game & Watch Gallery'', but it was not inducted into the Museum until ''Game & Watch Gallery 2''.
* ''Pinball'', ''Donkey Kong Hockey'', ''Donkey Kong Circus'', ''Super Mario Bros.'', and ''Balloon Fight'' are the only Museum titles never to have been made playable in the series. All were Museum titles in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3''.
* ''Donkey Kong 3'', which is playable in ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'', is the only game playable in the series never to have been a Museum title. 
*The release date of ''Octopus'' shown in ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' says 7/16/'''83''', but the real release year of that game is 1981.
*In ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'', ''Turtle Bridge'' is misspelled as '''''Turtre Bridge'''''.
*The release date of ''Life Boat'' in ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' says '''11'''/25/83, but in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' it says '''October''' 25th, 1983.
