The fourth season of Black Mirror is full of references that, somehow, connect different episodes with each other. However, Black Museum is, by far, the chapter with more Easter Eggs. In fact, several of them are explained in the chapter itself. But here is a list of those that are easer to ignore:

THE DNA SCANNER FROM USS CALLISTER

This 3D printer-like gadget was used by Robert Daly to create virtual copies of his coworkers and then lock them into the world he created.

THE TABLE FROM ARKANGEL

The device Sara uses as a weapon in the second episode of the fourth season to hit her overprotective mother.

THE MASK FROM WHITE BEAR

The mask worn by one of the men stalking Victoria Skillane as part of a simulated stage in White Bear, episode of the second season of the series.

THE BATHTUB FROM CROCODILE AND CARLTON BLOOM FROM THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

There are two appreciable references in this frame. First, and probably the most visible one, is the bathtub where one of the murders Mia commits in Crocodile took place.

Second, there is the body hanging from a rope at the bottom. This is Carlton Bloom, the man who devised the complex plan to humiliate the prime minister in the chapter of the first season, The National Anthem.

THE DRONE WITH INSECT FORM FROM HATED IN THE NATION

This little bee-shaped robot initially had the function of pollinating flowers. But it is Black Mirror that we are talking about, so the outcome had to be much more dramatic. In Hated in the Nation (season 3), it becomes a lethal weapon that ends the lives of thousands of people.

THE CREATORS OF BLACK MIRROR AND THE VR TECHNOLOGY FROM PLAYTEST

In the masks that can be seen at the background, the second one has an appreciable similarity with the creator of Black Mirror, Charlie Brooker. Besides, in the image below, we identify the face of the series production designer, Joel Collins.

In addition, the technology that appears on the right side of the first frame is the same that leads Cooper to a terrifying experience in Playtest (season 3).
