What is night at the museum?

"Night at the Museum" is a comedy film series that follows the adventures of a night security guard at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The first film, released in 2006, stars Ben Stiller as the security guard who discovers that the museum exhibits come to life at night due to an ancient Egyptian artifact called "The Tablet of Ahkmenrah." The film also stars Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, and Steve Coogan.

The success of the first film led to two sequels: "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" in 2009, which sees the characters navigating the exhibits at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., and "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" in 2014, which takes place at the British Museum in London.

The films are known for their combination of comedy, action, and adventure, with an ensemble cast of famous historical figures and museum exhibits coming to life. The series has been praised for its imaginative premise and entertaining family-friendly humor.
