'''The Museum of Anything Goes''' is a 1995 [[games|video game]] for [[wikipedia:Windows 3.1|Windows 3.1]]. It was created by Michael Markowski and Maxwell S. Robinson and published by Wayzata Technology.<ref name="tvtropes" /> It is considered the first bait-and-switch [[shock site]] ever made, but [[Dan's Gallery of The Grotesque|Dan has other plans]].

The game is set in a museum. The player can click on different paintings to enter them. Inside, there are strange [[wikipedia:Full-motion video|full motion video]] clips and interactive parts. Most of these videos were filmed in or near [[wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]].<ref name="tvtropes" />
==Funeral scene==
On one occasion, ''The Museum of Anything'' started acting uncharacteristically. It happens during a specific scene showing a funeral. In this scene, the camera shows a coffin being lowered into the ground. After the people leave, a message appears. It tells the player not to click on the coffin. If the player ignores this warning and clicks, a disturbing [[video]] plays. The video shows human-like flesh being put into a machine. The audio is a loud, overlapping mix of sirens and a baby crying. The player can click off the video and resume into the game.

Some people, including the [[YouTube]]r Nexpo, believe the "flesh" in the video is actually a pig. Another theory says the footage was taken from an old documentary about a slaughterhouse.<ref>reddit.com/r/creepygaming/comments/11e76nx/the_museum_of_anything_goes_dead_body_full_scene/</ref>

The streamer [[wikipedia:Vinesauce|Vinesauce]] (Binyot) played ''The Museum of Anything Goes'' on [[wikipedia:Twitch|Twitch]]. During the stream, he accidentally showed the first half of this video uncensored.
==Background==
''Wayzata Technology'' was a company from [[wikipedia:Minnesota|Minnesota]] that focused on the early [[wikipedia:CD-ROM|CD-ROM]] market until 1996. Wayzata was known for making useful software, such as [https://bookscouter.com/publisher/wayzata-technology factbooks], [https://archive.org/details/Sound_Library_Pro_-_Wayzata_Technology_1993 sound banks], and photo archives. Because the company had low costs, they were able to take risks on making bizarre, surreal projects.

One creator, Markowski, used to be a tutor in Chicago public schools. He was unhappy with how the city managed schools and money, so he put those feelings into the software. The "museum" inside the program includes interviews with students and grainy videos of [[wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]] trains. ''The Museum of Anything Goes'' is best described as an art interpretation of ''Wayzata Technology'' as a whole.
