Collector's Museum

The Collector's Museum was an intergalactic vault and holding area located on Knowhere under the control of Taneleer Tivan, used to store the various objects and specimens in Tivan's collection.
==History==
===Tivan Group===
====Obtaining the Aether====
Asgardians Sif and Volstagg arrived at the museum to deliver the Aether to the infamous Taneleer Tivan. They were introduced to Tivan by Carina, and willingly gave the Aether to him, not realizing that he was apparently seeking the other Infinity Stones.Thor: The Dark World Mid-credits Scene
====Offering of the Orb====
The Guardians of the Galaxy arrived to give the Orb to Taneleer Tivan. Tivan explained to the Guardians that it was an Infinity Stone. Upon discovering this, Carina attempted to use the power to escape from slavery by grabbing the Stone, which only disintegrated her and caused a huge explosion. The Guardians got out unscathed and Tivan suffered a minor head injury, but all of the creatures escaped.
Tivan later sat sipping a drink while Cosmo licked his face, much to Howard the Duck's disapproval.Guardians of the Galaxy Post-credits Scene
====Attack on Knowhere====
In 2018, Thanos went to the Collector's Museum to seek the Reality Stone so he could put it into the Infinity Gauntlet. After acquiring it, he set the Museum on fire, destroying everything and watched as it was engulfed in flames. Soon, he used the Reality Stone to perform an illusion. When Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, and Mantis arrived, they were tricked by his illusion, leading Gamora to believe her father had died.
After removing the illusion, Thanos temporarily subdued Mantis and Drax with the Reality Stone and captured Gamora. Gamora told Quill to kill her with his Quad Blaster like they had talked previously about. However, Thanos used the Reality Stone to turn Quill's shots into bubbles and used the Space Stone to transport himself and Gamora out of the Museum.Avengers: Infinity War
