Museum guards guard the Varrock Museum and the path leading to the Varrock Dig Site east of Varrock. Unlike most guards, they cannot be attacked by players.

Recently, the Museum received a massive donation from the government of Varrock. With this money they renovated the museum, obtaining new exhibits, building new floors, recruiting new workers and archaeologists, and increasing advertising. The museum guards are amongst the museum's new workers.

The museum guards have been hired to peacefully manage and inform visitors to the museum. They guard four areas; the entrance to the archaeological cleaning centre in the museum, the museum's back entrance, the path leading to the Varrock Dig Site, and the exhibit of the Completionist cape on the top floor of the museum. Players can gain permission to pass through the first two by working in the museum.

The guard that stands next to the Completionist cape explains to the player the cape's history. The player can attempt to try on the cape, but unless they have the required skills, they will be forced backwards in a cloud of smoke, and in the chat is the listed requirements to own and wear the cape.

The guard just west of the Archaeologist's workbench at the Varrock Dig Site is standing next to a cart where players can donate artefacts for 40% of the amount of chronotes (rounded down) as opposed to when the player would trade the artefact in at a collector. The cart donation to the Varrock Museum has no restrictions though and will accept any artefact in any quantity.
