Full Motion Video is a disambig.

* CreepyDoll: There's a CG-animated teddy bear sitting in a dark room if you enter the painting of two eyes. If you click on it, it says "You're a real smarty, aren't you?" in a weird voice, then walks by itself and turns on the light switch, revealing what seems to be a child's playroom with a creepy clown head in the back.

* MoodWhiplash: While browsing the paintings, you can go from goofy clips of animals with funky sound effects to depressing collections of nihilistic poems and dead letters.

Added DiffLines:

* SurrealHorror: The aesthetics of the museum, as well as some of the strange beings you find there, lead to this feeling. Such as going into a dead end in a cavernous hallway and running into a creature made of small spheres that can reassemble itself, saying "I'M GONNA GET YOU!" in an ominous voice.

* MuseumOfTheStrangeAndUnusual: The whole thing is ''literally'' this trope in software form, except that all the weirdness came from the minds of the creators rather than real life. The real life stuff is pretty mundane, though it's often presented in a lovably bizarre way.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The game features photos and footage of real people, cars, and locations with blatant [[TheNineties '90s]] stylings, often accompanied by the kind of MIDI music one would also expect of the era.

'''''The Museum of Anything Goes''''' is a [[MindScrew very surreal]] game from 1995 made by Wayzata Technology.

Perhaps best characterized as an EnvironmentalNarrativeGame minus the narrative, the game presents the player with the eponymous museum, where they can enter the various paintings strewn about and come across quirky FMV clips and interactive segments. The FMV clips were primarily filmed around the Chicago area.
