When you know what will be in your museum, a blueprint is a big help to figure out where everything is going to go.
You can build on top of the yellow and black blocks. Figure out the perimeter of your build space.
Use graph paper at a scale of 1 square = 1 Minecraft block to design your floor plan and any outdoor landscape around it.
Add a floor plan for each floor of your museum.

Rail Tricks
Powered rails that are ON will push a minecart forward.
You can turn them on with redstone torches, buttons, levers, or detector rails on a block that touches the powered rail.
Powered rails that are OFF will stop a minecart.
Activator rails that are ON will push a person out of a minecart.
Detector rails will sense a minecart passing over them and pass a power signal forward (to a powered rail) or down (to a command block).
