[[WMG: Multi-layer representation]]
The Tablet would only do the highest layer. So a dragon figurehead on a replica of a Viking ship is not animated, a Franchise/{{LEGO}} teddy bear animates to move like a real teddy bear, etc.
[[WMG: The exhibits would have been able to move longer if some of their joints were also in the day versions.]]
Because then not all their joints would rely on magic to even function.

Yeah, this is either {{Jossed}} or just plain silly, but it's wanted to be told somewhere. You know that when [[spoiler:Marcos exploded in the oxygen chamber we couldn't see his body, just blood]].

[[WMG: Tess in the end of ''Smithsonian'' is actually Earhart.]]
Both Amelia and Tess were portrayed by the same actress, and Tess mentions how she gets lost easily, a play on the real-life Earhart's disappearance. Somehow while Earhart in the film flew into the sunset, she managed to survive and take on the identity of another person, having been filled in on modern society.

The fact that we saw the inside of a wax statue instead of guts when Roosevelt was run over does throw a monkey wrench into this theory somewhat. I guess the best explanation is that the transformation only goes in about skin deep.

Personally, I don't believe this one, but somebody on IMDB suggested it. He gets angry at Larry because the museum is messy, but he never asks HOW it happened, he only tells Larry to do better next time or he's fired. Also, at the end, when [=McPhee=] has seen the news reports, he doesn't ask Larry HOW he could have created dinosaur tracks in the snow or put a caveman on the roof. And it would be sort of cool if the museum directors knew the secret and told their successors, just like the night guards.

[[WMG: Kahmunrah was never real.]]
While Kahmunrah has his own exhibit in the Smithsonian, it is very possible that Kahmunrah is a character inadvertently created through mistakes in Egyptology done in ignorance or missing pieces lost to time, and that the various artifacts that supposedly belonged to him actually belonged to his "father" or "brother" and that Kahmunrah is an InUniverse case of DecompositeCharacter, not unlike Frigga and Freya in Myth/NorseMythology. The concept of a fictional character coming to life by the power of the Tablet is proven to be possible, as we have seen with Darth Vader and Oscar the Grouch in the second movie and Lancelot in the third movie.
The Kahmunrah we see in the second movie is not the mummified remains of a man brought to life like his brother and parents. Instead, he and his {{Mooks}} are a group of exhibit mannequins. We never see his mummy, nor do we ever hear mention of him from his so-called brother and parents. The Tablet itself was made special for his brother, something that - stands to reason - is also the case with the portal to the underworld.
This would also explain why he did not know the code to activate the portal, as while the Egyptologists that made him knew about the Tablet's lore and the portal to the underworld, they did not know how to activate it, Kahmunrah rationalizing him not knowing as his parents having changed the combination.

When we first meet Akhmenrah's parents they say that the Egyptian gods are the only true gods, this is played for laughs with Larry explaining that they try to keep a more open mind. the problem here is that the Egyptian gods ARE real, the tablet was created as a blessing from Khonsu. this implies that in the night at the museum universe the Egptian gods (and presumably only them) are a real and active force in the universe.
