Like Cranky's Cabin, the main purpose of the location is for [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] receive tips and advice from Cranky. Most of it reveals [[Bonus Area]] entrances amongst other collectibles such as [[DK Coin]]s. The background music is even based on the original theme for Cranky's Cabin. Cranky does not rant as frequently in Monkey Museum, usually only doing so when the Kongs enter and exit the location.

The Monkey Museum may also double as a typical museum, as it has various artifacts in the background. Most of them were not retained in Cranky's Hut for the Game Boy Advance version.

* Cranky occasionally asks the Kongs if they have tried the game "Cranky Kong Country", which he claims was on sale a year ago. In reality, this is directly based on ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s release a year earlier. Even though he dislikes the game, Cranky takes credit for causing its popularity instead of Donkey Kong. This implies that he might have been jealous of the game. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3]]''{{'}}s [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Cranky has a [[Cranky's Dojo|dojo]], where he trains himself for the same adventure, ''Cranky Kong Country'', likely hoping for a successful game starring himself.
