Characters in the musuem were based on the themes and characters in Radiohead's music and artwork, including the stickmen, bears and minotaurs. ![]() According to a blog post by Yorke and Donwood, everything in the exhibition came from material made while Radiohead were recording Kid A and Amnesiac. The team had the guiding principle of exhibiting no new work. The environment and characters were developed using tools such as Maya, and the levels were created with Unreal Engine. The staff included the artist and creative director Sean Evans, the theatre set designer Christine Jones and the producer Matthew Davis, the head of Namethemachine.

The large central pyramid features the songs " How to Disappear Completely", " Pyramid Song" and "You and Whose Army". Players cannot die and there are no enemies, no score system, and no levels to complete. The New Yorker described the museum as "a brutalist cathedral full of byzantine corridors, majestic rooms, banks of buzzing cathode-ray-tube televisions, and carpets of fluttering sketchbook pages". Players move through an abstract virtual museum, examining artwork and listening to music and sounds from the albums.
