This article is about the level set. For the Doom 3 weapon, see The Artifact.

The Artifact is a three-level map set for Doom II created in 1995 by Paul Schmitz, after an earlier release for Doom. It was originally intended to be a single level. However, due to its size, it would crash the game upon saving and so was split up. It was considered by the Doomworld reviewers to be one of the ten best 1995 WADs.

Late in 1995, Schmitz released a three-level sequel titled Welcome to Hell.
