Tanren Museum
Tanren's Museum is to the far right of the East Gate, entered through a doorway. The bottom-left of the museum has an exit that leads to the Archaeological Dig.

When the player first enters Tanren Museum, they get the following story prompt of two Pokémon talking about a hidden route somewhere in the musuem:
 * Pyroar: ...
 * Pyroar: So, with Tanren Mines out of the way, we can finally resume our plan.
 * Pyroar: Supposedly, that "hidden route" must be here somewhere...
 * Salazzle: Heh! We'll just have to check out all of the ornaments here, perhaps there'll be a hidden swith or something nifty!
 * Pyroar: Just be careful... don't attract the attention of anyone here!
 * Salazzle: Right... Let's go ahead. I trust your judgment.
 * Receptionist: What was that ruckus just now...?

 * }

Archaeological Dig
The Archaeological Dig is another room in the Tanren Museum, found going out to the left of the musuem's main room and nextdoor.

The main attraction here is the bottom-most vase east in this room, wherein one can use the move Rock Smash on it to access Tanren Undercity.

 * style="text-align: left"|Welcome to our Archaeological Dig! Here you can personally watch us uncover priceless and fragile relics, which you should definitely not touch!
 * }

When a player goes past the vase they'll find themselves in the map that leads to the Tanren Undercity. The player will need to use Rock Climb and have beaten Tanren Mines.

The Pokémon before can be seen again, discovering the entrance to Tanren Undercity:
 * (You hear two Pokémon talking somewhere in the room...)


 * Pyroar: This must be it! I've checked everything here...
 * Salazzle: Heh heh! You're right! Let's try forcing our way in!
 * Pyroar: One two...
 * Pyroar: Ha! That did it!
 * Salazzle: Let's quickly slither out way in... Before that foolish Marowak notices.
 * Pyroar: We're going to be rich!

Trivia

 * Items cannot be dropped in the Tanren Exploration Site because there are 30 inaccessible hidden items in it.
 * Anise's name was previously Cheryl.
 * The Pineco NPC Hermes might draw its name from incorrect depictions of the caduceus (staff associated with the classical Greek deity) showing it topped by a pinecone. This might be due to the thyrsus (token of Dionysus) getting confused with the caduceus.
