Živých aj neživých hrdinov ale čaká nemilé prekvapenie. Zlatá doska začína napriek svôjmu materiálu korodovať a kúzlo sa pomaly ale neúprosne vytráca. Pre exponáty, ktoré každý večer ožívajú a ich ochrancu Larryho tým začínajú nielen krušné chvíle, ale aj ich najväčšie dobrodružstvo , ktoré ich privedie až za Atlantik. Riešenie ich problému sa totiž nachádza v oddelení egyptských zbierok Britského múzea v Londýne. V tejto slávnej a významnej inštitúcii našu podivuhodnú partiu rozšíria nie len tunajší hrdinova, ktorí ožívajú, na čele s rytierom Lancelotom ( Dan Stevens), ale aj miestna nočná strážnička Tilly ( Rebel Wilson ). V metropole Británie na nich nečakajú len nové priateľstvá. Aby zachránili kúzlo a tým aj seba , musia čeliť mnohým nebezpečenstvám a poraziť silného protivníka.
Príbeh sa začína vo chvíli, keď Larry zanechal biedne platenú prácu strážcu v múzeu a stal sa žiadaným vynálezcom. Zdá sa, že má konečne všetko, po čom túži, no i tak mu niečo v živote chýba. Niečo ho ťahá späť do múzea, tam kde to mal rád, kde kedysi zažil neopakovateľnú magickú noc. Larry netuší, že medzi tým sú jeho najobľúbenejšie exponáty považované za zastarané. A tak, zabalené v debnách čakajú na odvoz do ohromných depozitárov v najväčšom múzeu na svete, v múzeu Smithsonian vo Washingtone. Ich ďalší osud je tak veľmi neistý - teda len do chvíle, než jeden z nich, miniatúrny kovboj Jedediah, zavolá Larrymu a opíše mu hroziacu katastrofu. Egyptský vládca Kahmunrah je po troch tisícročiach spánku vo veľmi mizernej nálade. S trojicou najnenávidenejších prisluhovačov sveta zmobilizujú všetkých svojich prívržencov a plánujú prevrat, pri ktorom ovládnu najskôr múzeum Smithsonian a následne celý svet.

It was announced today that a team of scholars has confirmed that a fourth century codex written in the ancient Egyptian Coptic language refers to the wife of Jesus. This is the first reference to Jesus being married that has been found in an ancient text, and while it is not evidence of the historical Jesus, it suggests some early Christians believed Jesus had a wife. Dr. Karen King, the Hollis Professor of Divinity at Harvard Divinity School, unveiled her findings today at the Tenth International Congress of Coptic Studies in Rome.
