Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category World Museums) for Thursday, April 10, 2025 (Season 41, Game 154):
Located on Cromwell Road & home to more than 2.8 million objects, it bears in part the name of a cousin of a British queen
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Kat Donahoe, a chemist from Modesto, California
|
Dave Widmayer, a trivia host & chemist from Portland, Oregon
|
Andrew Hayes, a law student originally from Tupelo, Mississippi (1-day total: $25,200)
|
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Mississippi law student Andrew Hayes faces off today against a pair of chemists: Modesto’s Kat Donahoe and Portland’s Dave Widmayer—who also moonlights as a trivia host (I could not find which company Dave hosts for.)
The way things are looking, Andrew will need another victory in order to get a postseason invitation; however, that assumes a postseason of similar composition to 2025. If things continue to go Sony’s way in the courtroom, it might be easier for extra streaming-only episodes to be produced, though.

Established in 1852, the Victoria and Albert Museum (the V&A) was established in an area that houses many cultural institutions associated with the cousin & husband of Queen Victoria. With its 2.8 million objects in 45 different galleries, it saw over 3 million visitors in 2023.
Will the show accept the shortened form? I’m unsure—the reference to the cousin of the Queen might require a fully spelled out name here.

Dave: Standard cover bet today is $5,801. (Actual bet: $5,801)
Kat: Bet whatever you like; you need a pair of overbets to win. That said: betting at least $400 will pass one of Andrew’s most likely bets. (Actual bet: $5,398)

I said Victoria and Albert museum just to say I made a guess.
Shows you how much I know about what I know. 🙂
Riiight! I was pretty sure that Albert was Victoria’s cousin and since genealogists [or at least Robert Louis Gates, Jr.] seem to call any distant relative of approximately the same generation “cousins”, I’d bet a large percentage of British royalty have been married to a “cousin”.
I had heard of the Victoria and Albert Museum but not in a way that had imparted to me that it is humongous, so I couldn’t think of the name of any museums which would have that many objects, though I assumed they were mostly insects and/or fossilized bone fragments, so didn’t necessarily have to be a humongous museum 🤷.
An easy FJ if you’ve been to the museum, which I was when I visited London. I dislike this clue, however, because nobody thinks of Albert as anyone other than Victoria’s husband. Calling him her cousin, even if he was, is just an attempt to make the clue more deceptive than it needs to be.
Saying that (Prince?) Albert was Queen Victoria’s cousin, instead of her husband is deceptive? I don’t know. I know I didn’t know that, maybe someone who is more familar with the history of the British crown than an “average” American would know that.
What I DO know is that the Victoria and Albert Museum is one of the few British insitutions of it’s type I know of.
Would I under pressure have said the Victoria and Albert Museum, like MasterDoge? I don’t know.
Andy;
What legal battle that Sony is involved with are you refering to in your comments? The battle over distribution rights with CBS Media Ventures? Or, something else I’m not readily aware of?
I wouldn’t call it deceptive, but referencing the cousin when the museum also bears the Queen’s own name is a level of cuteness that I wouldn’t expect from a FJ clue.
I also wrote down “Victoria and Albert”, but only because I couldn’t think of anything else that seemed remotely correct.
I totally agree, plus saying cousin of a queen seems to imply some other queen than another part of the museum’s name. I know it is not uncommon for an FJ! to be tricky, but I feel this one is just cheating any contestant who has not actually been there. Particular kudos to Andrew if he has never been on Cromwell Road.
I think this would have been an appropriate tournament FJ! or even a Masters FJ! without the “Located on Cromwell Road”.
Famous museum on Cromwell Road; the Victoria and Albert Museum is the first and only thing that comes to mind. Like Andrew, I was surprised/shocked that he was the only contestant to get it. I thought either 2 or all 3 would get it. Maybe, it helps to have only a limited knowledge of British museums.
Here’s a fun fact about Dave. His father Hank Widmayer originally appeared on May 21, 1992, which was the same day Jerome Vered set a new one day record of $34,000! What an amazing coincidence this is.
“In part” and the enormous number of objects were big clues for me. I’ve been to the museum but I didn’t remember the name of the street.
