Just like you could have designed the tiles in a graphics editor, and the palette map in a text editor. But that's tedious and error-prone. Instead, you can use [Polished Map](https://github.com/Rangi42/polished-map). It's a program for editing maps and tilesets. Just open any of the [maps/\*.blk](../tree/master/maps/) files and pick "museum" as its tileset. As long as the graphics, palette map, metatiles, and collision files exist, this will work. Then click Tools → Resize Blockset… (or the blue **±** button) to add some blocks to the sidebar, and right-click one of them to open the block editor: |
