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

Kat Donahoe on Jeopardy!

Dave Widmayer, a trivia host & chemist from Portland, Oregon

Dave Widmayer on Jeopardy!

Andrew Hayes, a law student originally from Tupelo, Mississippi (1-day total: $25,200)

Andrew Hayes on Jeopardy!

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.

Correct response: What is the Victoria and Albert Museum?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

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.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Dave $20,200 Andrew $13,000 Kat $5,400)

Andrew: Bet at least $1,400 to have any chance of winning. If you want to guarantee second, you can cap your bet at $2,199. Or, you could go all in to maximize winnings if correct. (Actual bet: $7,201)

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)
