The '''Overwatch Museum''' is located in [[New York]].<ref>''[[Overwatch 2]]'', ''[[Midtown]]''</ref><ref name = "ReaperOW2">[https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/heroes/reaper/ Reaper (Overwatch 2)], ''Blizzard Entertainment''. Accessed on 2022-10-05</ref>

==Background==

The museum is dedicated to [[Overwatch (group)|Overwatch]]. It contains information on the group itself, a history of the [[Omnic Crisis]], and various statues depicting Overwatch members, [[omnic]] automatons, and other pieces of technology.<ref name = "Trailer">2014-11-07, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqnKB22pOC0 Overwatch Cinematic Trailer].

The museum also stored [[Doomfist]]'s gauntlet, which was the target of an attempted heist by [[Widowmaker]] and [[Reaper]]. However, they were intercepted by former Overwatch agents [[Winston]] and [[Tracer]], leading to a gun battle that forced the [[Talon]] agents to retreat.<ref name = "Trailer"/> Security footage of the incident soon found its way into the hands of the international community, eliciting a variety of responses.<ref name = "Vigilante">2015-05-24, [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20130523 Overwatch is Back: Uncertainty and Hope After UN Confirms Vigilante Activity]. ''Blizzard Entertainment.'', accessed on 2016-5-25</ref>

==Trivia==

The museum is referenced in the [[Midtown]] map in ''[[Overwatch 2]]''. If the player lingers in the [[NYFD]] station, they can hear a dispatch pertaining to the museum. This is possibly an Easter egg referring to the events in the museum that occur in the cinematic intro for the [[Overwatch|first game]].
