Hey guys, I made an account for just this very reason, because I couldn't find anything about it. I found this secret room in Markarth, specifically in the Dwemer Museum. No music or sounds are played inside it, except for the sounds the character makes. There are 2 rows of empty trophy cases leading up to a big dwemer cube, like the one that Septimus Signus had us unlock in Discerning the Trasmudane. There is a lexicon pad right by it, and the lexicon pad does not take the blank or transcribed lexicon from Elder Knowledge. This room is called the dwemer artifacts wing, and can be found by going into the dwemer museum, and going to the first table on the right. Behind the table there is a gold panel that is part of the wall, and it is the door to the room.

If i'm being really dumb, ridicule me as much as i deserve.

No, that's very interesting. It might not be active, because it was meant for a future DLC or it was something that got dropped from the game. I'll check it out later. Thanks.

Hm, I've never heard of this before, and can't find any references to it in the usual places. I think Soloquendi may be right in thinking this is an "artifiact" (pun intended) of an unfinished and abandoned quest that you've been able to access somehow.

I am very surprised that not even UESPwiki mentions this--they usually include known artifacts of unfinished quests. Makes me wonder if this is connected--intentionally or unintentionally --to one of recently released versions of the Dragonborn DLC or the lastest patch. Are you on PC or PS3?

Supposedly one of the future DLCs will involve the past history of Skyrim as it relates to the Atmorans, Dwemer, and Snow Elves. The Dwemer Museum would be a nice place to find some involvement with the Dwemer side of things. This room might be a part of it and primed by a recent update hush-hush. Might explain why it's not been documented, assuming it's there. I'll have to see if I can access it later when I'm done with Solstheim and back in Skyrim.

Is this different from the thieve's guild quest area in the museum?

I checked the museum, including the laboratory and found nothing. I have all three DLC's and the latest update. I'm thinking it's either part of a mod, or the OP is trolling us. I'll give him/her the benefit of the doubt for right now and see if there is any more info available. A screen shot would be nice too.

As of right now, I can't confirm the veracity of this claim.

I'm leaning towards the trolling option as well. Checked all of the museum, and found nothing. Going with the benefit of the doubt, another possibility is that the OP someone stumbled into a test cell. Unlikely since you need the console to get into them, but I suppose weirder stuff has happened in Skyrim.

Made an account just to try and get to the bottom of this. Like the OP I also stumbled across this room. Here are some photos.

The Door is to the right not too far into the museum.

Looking at the map I noticed I wasn't at the far edge of the room even though the dwemer gate seemed to be the end. Playing on a PC, I nocliped past the gate and found a short tunnel followed by a small room with a table.

Aside from the fact that I'm resurrecting an old thread, does anyone have any thoughts or updates on this?

I tried it both in-game and in creation kit. No sign of it for me.

So the room is not real? I never think to look for it when I'm playing. I tend to avoid Markarth.
I don't know...someone else posted screen caps of it, but I can't even find it in ck. My only guess, at this point, is that whoever originally found it was playing with no patch, or an earlier patch, and that it must have been taken out in a later patch. I've got all 3 DLCs and the 1.9 patch, so I don't know what was/wasn't there before.

Either it was deleted in a new patch or both room founders have the same mod installed

I may be bringing up a dead topic but this room is there and judging from the number of people that don't see it, it is some sort of mod. It does have a quest attached to it called Boxed Artifact. I don't know what the trigger was to start the quest but a messenger approached me just outside of Markarth with a message from Delvin Mallory of the thieve's guild. If this is a mod it is fully voiced because the messenger that approached me talked to me. I have a feeling that the character has to be the leader of the thieves guild and they have to have entered Blackreach before this quest becomes available. Sorry if this is a worthless post by now but hopefully it solves the question of what this room is because I know it confused me for several months.

UPDATE:
This is a quest and room attached to the Longbows mod.

I just found that and came back to see that you had also. Googled "boxed artifact" and this http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=119797806 is what came up. Same one?
