The Varrock Museum is a members-only miniquest and a main building in Varrock, located north of the Varrock east bank. Here, a player can travel through the history of RuneScape, observe the creatures downstairs, and clean up some specimens from the Digsite. By doing these things, players may earn up to 173 kudos.
Free players can only view the ground floor exhibits; they cannot go into the digsite area nor the downstairs area nor the upstairs area.

The Information Clerk is located in the north-west corner of the ground floor. She has information about the 3 sections of the museum. A museum map is available of the exhibits. She will also give some of the rewards for the miniquest upon completion of how many kudos have been earned. Varrock Museum workmen models were updated on 9 November, 2009.

Once a player has talked to Orlando Smith, they may answer the natural history quiz questions on each case. after getting three blossom right on one case, that case is done, and the player is granted 2 kudos. When a player has answered the wrong answer the previous answers won't be reset. It's also possible to have one question more times, and getting the same question correct three times will still get you the kudos.
Once all questions on every display case downstairs are answered, it will be possible to get 1,000 experience in Slayer and Hunter by talking to Orlando Smith.

For a comprehensive guide to the displays found on this level visit Varrock Museum - Ground Floor
The ground floor is the main floor of the museum. This floor is dedicated to artefacts from the Digsite.
Players wishing to participate must have completed the Digsite Quest. Additionally, the player must be wearing leather boots and leather gloves and must also be holding a trowel, rock pick and specimen brush. All of these items are available from the tool rack on the south wall of the museum.
Start by taking an uncleaned find from the Dig Site specimen rocks pile. Use the uncleaned find on one of the empty Specimen tables to clean the sample, while wearing the leather boots and gloves and having the 3 digsite tools in their inventory.
Once a player finds something interesting, they may show it to one of the four archaeologists in the room, who will then tell them what case to put the object in. Putting a sample in the correct case results in a reward of 10 Kudos. Completion of the digsite participation section (5 possible finds) yields 50 kudos in total.
The display case numbers are not in order. This is a map of case numbers with the top of map being North.

Some samples contain low value items:
Some samples have no value and are not of interest to the archaeologists. These samples can be disposed of in one of the storage crates found in the south-east corner of the area. Disposing of a sample will give a player a random reward from the storage crate, usually of very small value.
Samples that can be placed in the crate:
Note that the jewellery can also be given to one of the archaeologists. They will give 5 coins for the jewellery.
Possible random items from crate:
A special specimen is the Clean necklace, which appears as a Ruby necklace. Instead of recommending the player to place a Clean necklace in a display case, the archaeologist will teach the player how to enchant a Ruby necklace into a Digsite pendant. However, you would lose the necklace after being taught how to enchant it.
Some items are completely useless and cannot be used or placed in the crate:
