Tidy Up History: Knowledge Book Locations

Every Knowledge Book location across museum wings for the Knowledgeable achievement and artifact identification.

Last updated: September 17, 2026

Quick Answer

13 Knowledge Books across wings — Theropod crate, Egypt stairs, Greece/Rome top stairs, Islamic pile, North America webs, and more. Full room list below.

Hi, I'm Vook, a reader who learned the hard way that some books are trapped in spider webs and one Greece key sits on top of the same stack.

Knowledge Books identify mystery artifacts and feed the Knowledgeable achievement (find all knowledge books). Grab them on the same laps as keys — several wings overlap.

Hub route: walkthrough.

Sweep tips

  • Webs first — Ornithopod and Indigenous North America books will not interact until the web is gone. Same camera-angle trick as beginners' tips.
  • Wing order — I grab books when I unlock each wing via keys, not in table order.
  • Do not confuse with physical label pickups — those are a separate list: label locations.

All thirteen collected → Knowledgeable unlocks.
