Fossil Exhibit door speculation

[Mick]

I really hope it's just a decorative door, intended to represent a staff only area or emergency exit. Having to walk through the entire fossil section just to get to something completely different would be very annoying indeed. You'd be 5 loading screens in by the time you made it into whatever room is beyond that.

Unless it would link up to something? Being able to access a cafe/gift shop from the main entrance hall but also from doors like these could be neat

I’d say it’s for Blathers to take his smoke break, but then there’d be something on the ground to prop the door open. Maybe he’s got a rock outside the door for that purpose.

This. I would hate to have to go all that way just to get down to Brewster’s or a gyroid exhibit.

Maybe nothing... but hopefully gyroids!

I love this idea, I LOVED collecting the gyroids in WW and would really like to see them in NH

I don't mind this, as I really like exploring the museum.... even when things don't really change.. like at all, but it is a good point and I agree that some players might find this annoying :/
Plus IRL museums are like mazes... full of different wings representing different eras or art. If this does happen, hopefully they find a happy medium, maybe having an extra wing in the art section since it's one big room.

There is an exit sign just to the right of those doors. I think it's a little green sign, with an arrow pointing at the door. I think you see those elsewhere in exhibits though? I'll poke around my museum in a bit.

A cinema that plays Jurassic Park on loop 24/7.

Watch it just be a skeleton in a closet.

It is our skeleton, and it is revealed that we have been dead all along... the fan theory of this being a purgatory is revealed to be correct XD

I think the skeleton would belong to who or whatever Wisp was before Tom Nook came along. I don't know what happened on those 'deserted' islands before the campers arrived but I bet it's not good

Tom Nook secretly has atomic bombs on our island, and he secretly blew up those islands, and then quickly rebuilt them using the Island Designer Tools XD

So that's why we're never allowed behind that counter even though we're the 'island representative'... That's where the doomsday buttons are. Maybe the bombs are behind the door?

I like you, this makes perfect sense

 

[Xara]

i can definitely see it leading to the gyroid exhibit of sorts! it would make the most sense ;u;

 

[Clock]

Could possibly be a gyroid area or an npc place.

 

[Chris]

I had assumed it was decorative rather than having a planned function.

 

[xTech]

As much as it would be kinda cool if it ended up leading to a new area, I agree with some other people here that it's probably just there for added decoration. If I had to speculate what is inside the room though, probably just an extra storage room, or maybe it's a room full of equipment that blathers uses for dusting off and/or examining fossils.
