This is The Ending For The Film If You Do Want To Know What Happen Do Not Read Any Further

Still in the art museum, Larry and Amelia attempt to hide from Napoleon’s soldiers, using an old fountain for cover. However, like everything else in the museums, the cherubs/cupids (voiced by and look like the Jonas Brothers) on top of the fountain have come to life and start singing, alerting the soldiers, forcing Larry and Amelia to flee. Unfortunately for them, they run right into Napoleon. Larry makes fun of Napoleon’s height, but it appears that he finds Amelia quite charming. After a rather strange and awkward conversation between Napoleon and Larry as to whether he and Amelia are in a relationship, Napoleon hauls Larry off to meet Kahmunrah, but spares Amelia.

The other good guys (the New York exhibits) are still locked in their shipping container, while Custer talks about his hair. Jedediah and Octavius hatch a plan to escape as they’re the only ones small enough to get out the rusted hole in the shipping container. While they attempt their escape, they make enough noise to alert Al Capone’s men and Jedediah stays to distract them while Octavius escapes.

Meanwhile, Kahmunrah has made a throne for himself (out of Archie Bunker’s armchair), and has amassed a pile of historical treasures. Jedediah is brought to him, having been caught trying to escape. Larry is brought to Kahmunrah as well, and has the tablet taken from him. Kahmunrah places the tablet into the “Gate of Kahmunrah” and makes a large fuss about unleashing the underworld upon the earth, but seems to have gotten the combination wrong and nothing happens. Larry reveals that Kahmunrah and his goons will just turn back into inanimate objects by dawn. Kahmunrah think that’s Larry knows more than he’s leading on, and gives him an ultimatum: he lets Larry go, but gives him one hour to figure out the combination to the tablet, or else his friends will be put to death, starting with Jedediah (whose put into an hour glass and will drown in sand once it fills).  

Larry runs out and meets back with Amelia and the pair set off in search for a way to translate the tablet. They run into the giant octopus and it appears rather angry, Larry gets an idea, pulls a painting off the wall (a painting of a boat at sea) and tosses it at the octopus, dousing it in sea water, this immediately calms it down (its been out of the water for some time, and isn’t too happy about it). The Octopus takes a great liking to Larry and gives him a rather sticky hug.

Larry and Amelia continue their quest through the art museum and comes upon another statue of Roosevelt, an armless bronze bust, but this one hasn’t met Larry before. Fortunately, Roosevelt is able to translate the tablet, giving them a clue as to where they can get information into unlocking the tablet, “at heart of the pharaoh’s tomb.” On their way there, they stop by the statue of The Thinker (also Hank Azaria), and attempt to ask him what this cryptic clue means, but he is all but useless as he is more interested in a marble statue of Aphrodite. Larry gets an idea and attempts to ask Einstein for help, having seen a bunch of Einstein bobble-heads at the Air and Space exhibit. Amelia, impressed by his adventurous spirit, takes this moment to kiss him, while the three Cherubs sing the theme song from the Titanic film.

Back at the shipping container/prison, everyone is still stuck and bickering, while Kahmunrah is trying out a new suit, and taunting Jedediah about his impending doom. Just then, Ivan the Terrible comes in, bringing in several other exhibits who also want to join Kahmunrah’s “Axis of Evil.” These new evil applicants are: Darth Vader (Thomas Morley) and Oscar the Grouch (Carroll Spinney), neither of whom is “evil” enough for Kahmunrah. While this is going on, Napoleon spots Larry and Amelia exiting the building and think they’re trying to escape, and orders all his troops to find them.

At this point, Octavius arrives at the Whitehouse, having heard that a righteous man lives there, and intends to recruit him to rescue the others. Being rather small, he doesn’t get really far; bogged down by a vast jungle (which is really just the white house lawn). He is then attacked by a squirrel that tries to eat him, but couldn’t get through Octavius’ armour, then just grabs him and runs off.

Back with Amelia and Larry, the pair continue running from the bad guys and ends up at the Lincoln Memorial. Crouching behind one of the pillars, Amelia asks why Larry left his old job, who tries to make his current job of inventing household gizmos interesting, but with little success. Amelia asks him if he likes his new job, but Larry can’t produce a proper response. Amelia explains that she became a pilot because it was fun, which gets Larry into re-evaluating this own life. At this point, Abraham Lincoln’s statue (also Hank Azaria) suddenly wakes up, fends off some sleeping pigeons, and starts walking about the place. Larry tries to stop Lincoln from wandering off, but with little success, Amelia on the other hand, is able to get Lincoln to listen to her. Kahmunrah’s men are getting close and Amelia tells Lincoln to freeze while they hide and wait for the bad guys to pass by. Once the coast is clear, the pair leaves and Lincoln notes that they make an adorable couple.

They finally make it to the air and space museum and it appears that everything here has come to life as well. As they search for Einstein, Amelia spots her airplane and gets in, itching for a flight. All the other air/spacecraft begin their launch sequences as well, but Larry is able to grab the microphone and stop them before all the rockets go off. As Larry continues his search, he stumbles upon Able, a little capuchin monkey that was used in early space flights, who seems much friendlier than the monkey from New York museum. Amelia calls over to him as she has found the little Einsteins. After a bit of frustrated questioning, they are told that the combination to the tablet is Pi (3.1415….and so on). Having found the combination, Larry and Amelia make their way back to Kahmunrah to rescue Jedediah and the others.

Back at the shipping container, Custer continues to formulate an escape plan, but with little to no success.

As Amelia and Larry make their way back, Amelia confronts Larry about their “relationship,” it seems that Larry likes her, but the problem is that she isn’t “real.” He tries to tell her this but can’t bring himself to do it. Just then, the bad guys come charging in, and while a bunch of African-American pilots (the Tuskegee airmen) stall them, Amelia and Larry get into the Wright Flyer (the first plane) and make their escape. They fly the plane through the museum, dodging various exhibits, but one of the wings are damaged. As Amelia goes to make repairs, Larry is forced to pilot the plane. Looking ahead, Larry sees that the main hangar door is closed and is able to call out to Able just in time for it to press the “door open” button and lets them out.

Finally outside, the Larry and Amelia have a bit of a romantic moment together, circling above the Smithsonian.

Back at the art museum, Kahmunrah is harassing Jedediah in his hourglass and hears a rumbling noise. A moment later, the Wright flyer crashes through the window. Larry falls out and confronts Kahmunrah, while Amelia, having been obscured by the plane and rubble, sneaks off to gather reinforcements. Larry and Kahmunrah have a long angry argument along the lines of “give me the hostage,” “no, give me the combination first!” over and over until the other historical baddies come in holding one of the Einstein figurines. Capone gets it to reveal the combination and Kahmunrah uses it to activate the Gate and begins chanting. While Kahmunrah chants away, Larry and Jedediah have a heart-to-heart about why he called Larry, not because they needed him, but because Larry needed them, because he isn’t happy with his current job, he needed the adventure.

A moment later, the Gate opens up and ghostly figures pour out of it, becoming solid as they come through the gate, forming eagle-headed Egyptian warriors. The room is filled with Kahmunrah’s new soldiers and they’re about to kill Larry, but Octavius charges in on “nature’s most furious creature,” which turns out to be the squirrel that tried to eat him earlier. Kahmunrah is far from impressed, but then the statue of Lincoln crashes in to provide some assistance. The Eagle-warriors are helpless against the giant statue, and Lincoln scares them all into running back through the Gate and closing the door behind them. Having done his part, Lincoln goes back to his memorial. Now left without his undead army, Kahmunrah orders for Larry to be killed, but the rest of the good guys charge in and the two sides battle it out. Larry attempts to free Jedediah, but his hourglass prison is kicked away by one of enemy soldiers. Octavius tells Larry to go stop Kahmunrah while he goes to free Jed. As Larry runs to the Gate, he discovers Custer cowering in a corner, because he no longer has confidence in himself due to his failure at Little Big Horn. After a rather inspiring little speech, Custer gets his confidence back and charges out to join his comrades…just in time to be knocked out by a stray fist. Larry finds the two monkeys bickering, and then ends up getting into a three-way monkey slap-fight before continuing on his way.

Octavius finds Jedediah, who get into a farewell speech of sorts, but Octavius breaks the glass with his helmet and frees Jed. Octavius and Jed arm themselves with swords and run at the bad guys, hacking and slashing at their feet in heroic rapid-slowmo style (like the Spartans in 300).

The good guys appear to be winning, but Kahmunrah is too powerful to stop. Larry signals for Amelia to meet behind the Gate to give her his plan. Larry tells her to activate the Gate on his signal but is quickly interrupted by Ivan, Capone, and Napoleon, demanding the return of the tablet. Larry thinks quickly and asks them who the leader is, so he can give him the tablet, this causes all three to break into a fight over who’s the boss and Larry runs off to fight Kahmunrah.

Larry runs into Kahmunrah and fights him one on one. Larry whips out his flashlight and defends himself, throwing the tablet to Amelia. Kahmunrah is hacking at Larry with his sickle while Larry continues to defend with his flashlight (a surprisingly good fight). Larry goes on the offence and pushed Kahmunrah towards the Gate. As the Gate opens, Larry has Kahmunrah in a headlock and right before he is about to be pushed in, Kahmunrah fearfully asks, “what are you?” and Larry replies, “I’m the night guard,” and pushes him in. Amelia locks the Gate and Kahmunrah is trapped in the underworld. The good guys win.

Larry wants to take all of the New York exhibits back to their home museum and Amelia offers to give them a ride on her plane. Everyone returns to the Museum of Natural history and Amelia says good bye to Larry. Larry tries to tell her that she is not real, and if she doesn’t get inside before dawn, she will turn to dust and cease to exist. She tells him that she has known all along and she has gotten what she always longed for, adventure. She tells Larry that she looks forward to seeing the sun. Larry kisses her goodbye and she boards her plane, heading towards the dawn.

Back inside the museum, Roosevelt congratulates Larry on returning the exhibits but notes that they can’t just hide in the basement forever. Larry says he has a plan. Dawn approaches and everything becomes inanimate again.

A few months later, a reporter is in front of the museum, talking about new renovations, as well as the extended night hours, showing a lot of people visiting the museum at night. Larry has returned to his night guard position, having sold his company and donating his money anonymously to the museum, with the provision that everything stays the same . Dr. McPhee notes the coincidence of Larry’s return and the donation to the museum, and is happy that Larry is back, but isn’t able to show this very well, giving Larry an awkward hug/hand-shake.

As Larry and Dr. McPhee talk, Roosevelt rides by on his horse, giving a guided historical tour to a bunch of museum goers. It turns out that Larry’s plan was to bring all the exhibits to life at night, and pass them off as interactive/animatronic displays. There are a few scenes with the exhibits entertaining the public, like Attila the Hun entertaining children, and Ahkmunrah (Rami Malek) showing off his magical tablet to some kids, who are not very impressed. A few teens say that the animatronic T-rex looks lame, which causes it to scare them off with a ferocious roar.

McPhee leaves tend to other matters and Larry catches sight of a young woman who looks exactly like Amelia (also played by Amy Adams). Larry asks if she is related to Amelia Earhart, but she isn’t. They seem to hit it off, and she asks Larry to give her a tour, which he happily complies.
