Watch on YouTube	This is a rough cut of the Museum Party cutscene includes an additional line from Peter, and various unused and alternate shots. A duplicate of it referred to as CS MUS 03 exists in the game files because there was supposed to be an alternate FMV of the Ghostbusters sneaking into the Museum at the beginning of the level, but it was never produced due to missing lines from Bill Murray, so this cutscene was produced in CGI instead of in game animation.
Watch on YouTube	This is an alternate cutscene about the Board of Trustees. Initially, Winston was not going to explore the Museum with Venkman and the Rookie, but Ernie Hudson recorded extra lines after only a portion of Bill Murray’s lines were recorded for this level.

At the end of the cutscene, some additional dialogue from Winston and Ray is heard.
