Games that take place completely in museums - an IFDB Poll

IFComp 2023 had a couple, and they reminded me of another I tested in Shufflecomp. I like having the ability to leave when I want and see what I want.

I'm looking specifically for ones with no winning or losing, and ones where you can end the game by leaving, no matter how much you've seen, are also particularly valuable. (There's a lot of overlap.) Though a score of how much you've seen is worthwhile.

Deborah Sherwood's The Finder's Commission, also in IFComp 2023, misses the cut for this poll, despite mostly being in a museum. You spend time in your own hideout/headquarters. Though having a museum caper is okay!

Hannes Schueller's Ninja's Fate would also miss the cut. It is like the other entries in spirit, but again, you do important things outside the museum.

You may wish to delve into the IF Art Show entries just on the general principle of puzzleless (or nearly-puzzleless) interactions with art pieces. One game, Ribbons , may be close to what you're looking for, but it's been too long since I played it to be certain.
