A series of shorts detailing the interactions between preserved museum planes.
Museum Girls is an ongoing series created by Joshua Davis, also known for running the History in the Dark Youtube channel.
The series focuses on a group of sentient planes (Mussy, Spitty, 109, Zero, and 190) and their interactions with each other. Despite their initial hatred of each other, throughout the series, the five girls start to become friends.
The series was initially uploaded to TikTok on March 29, 2024, before a YouTube channel
was created specifically for the series on April 8 of that year.
