The Secret Museum

**The Secret Museum** is a hidden place underneath the museum where Xavier, Yadina, Brad, and others can solve their problem.

It is the eponymous location mentioned in the title of the series, and it is the means by which Xavier, Yadina, Brad, and anyone else travel backward in time to meet historical figures during their childhoods.

They appear to think of it like a sentient entity. Like, for example in *I Am Harry Houdini*, Xavier mentions “I wonder who the Secret Museum will send us to meet”, indicating it makes the choice based upon what lessons they need to learn.

In every episode, it presents the group with an artifact from a historical hero, and sends them back in time to meet the hero with the help of Berby or Talking Berby (if Berby is out of commission.)

The Secret Museum also functions as a connection to other worlds, as characters from other series often appear here from strange portals. Berby explains that is due to

## **Habitat:**

Xavier and Yadina’s parents own and operate the museum atop the secret one. Xavier and Yadina live there. In *I Am Mary Shelley*, Brad mentions that they live there. In *I Am Charles Dickens*, Yadina’s room is shown, and the kids head to the Secret Museum from there. In *I Am Neil Armstrong*, the kitchen is shown. In *I Am Marie Owens*, Xavier calls it “our family museum”.

## **Entrances:**

The kids and Night Cap access the Secret Museum through unconventional means, such as via:.

They don’t enter the Secret Museum in *I Am Susan B. Anthony* or *I Am Steven Spielberg*, because they’re already there.

In *Xavier Riddle and the Secret Movie: I Am Madam President*, Xavier, Yadina, and Brad enter an Egyptian Tomb, then the plane, the dinosaurs, and the other painting as a portal.
