Night at the Museum
Larry Daley started off as a man who had trouble finding work. The inventing career he had did not take off for a while so he decided to work at the Museum of Natural History as a night guard. When he found out that everything came to life, he wanted to quit being the nightguard, until he realized that he needed to protect the Tablet of Ahkmenrah. While working at his job, he finds out that any exhibit in the museum would turn to dust if it went outside after sunrise. Soon, the tablet got stolen by Cecil, Gus, and Reginald. Once informed by Larry, they all set out to retrieve it. Once Larry ended up getting the tablet, he restored it to it's rightful spot in the museum.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Two years later, Larry started his own company, called Daley Devices. He invented objects such as the Glow-in-the-Dark Flashlight, the Super Big Dog Bone and the Unloseable Keyring. Larry then went to visit the museum and found out that some exibits were being moved to the federal archives. When the tablet was also taken, he traveled to the Smithonian and defeated the evil pharaoh, Kahmunrah. He then brought the exhibits back to New York.
