Leave space for the museum to grow
Keep an exhibition area that can expand without dismantling every working facility. Cluster Dinosaur Bones exhibits that can become a compact tour. Allow room for completed skeletons, surrounding decoration and tour stops: a multi-part exhibit’s final footprint matters more than an unfinished fragment’s footprint.
Use expansion to support new functions
After the first star, improve your existing tour before tackling the second plot’s unlock requirements. The new plot can accommodate the Analysis Room and later back-of-house facilities, with short links to the existing exhibition area.
That is a layout suggestion, not a substitute for completing the plot’s actual objectives. Reserve visitor routes and enough space to meet the environmental needs of Prehistory, Botany and later Marine Life exhibits.
Check the working result
After moving exhibits, inspect the tour’s dotted path, Info Stand and Donation Stand coverage, staff travel and guest needs. Keep environmentally sensitive exhibits out of unsuitable leftover spaces.
This guide covers early-to-mid-game planning and expansion priorities. It does not provide a tile-by-tile blueprint or a final layout suitable for every save. Use the Memento Mile two-star walkthrough for the objective sequence.
