The Museum Mystery book nook recreates an old natural history museum on two floors, in a dark detective style. Upstairs, a blue whale hangs above the dinosaur skeleton in the gallery. Downstairs, a detective looks over the overturned chair at the scene of the crime.

A 232-piece DIY kit rated Medium, with built-in LEDs. It makes a great gift for a fan of crime fiction.

Who is the Museum Mystery book nook made for?

The Museum Mystery book nook is made for readers who like detective stories, and for anyone who enjoys wandering around an old natural history museum. Rated Medium with 232 pieces and about 4 to 6 hours of assembly, it works for a first big build as well as for regular builders, on your own or with someone else.

Its deep reds, dark wood and brass tones sit well next to hardbacks and a desk lamp. Slipped between two books, it turns a shelf into a small museum after closing time.

In the evening, the lit gallery makes it a soft night light for a nightstand or a desk.

Book nook details

Two grey elephants stand at the back of the gallery, one on each side, under the warm lamps of the exhibition floor. Red walls, framed paintings and a black iron railing give the upper floor its old museum look. Down in the office, notes are pinned to a board and linked with red thread, just above a globe and a stack of books. An old case lies open on the floor with two world maps still inside, next to a small yellow evidence marker. Behind the desk, a bookshelf holds a white chess knight and a twin-lens camera, while a mounted deer head watches from the wall. The outer panels are printed as well, one with a giant fingerprint under a magnifying glass, the other with a detective silhouette against a night skyline.

Can I get replacement pieces if something breaks or is missing?
