The first world/area shows an "incomplete" room (white node) with many paintings, most prominently one of a monocled guy. What is the secret to this room?

There are two "secrets": the four owl puzzle (denoted by a question mark on the node), and the subsequent anticube room.
Four owls
In four places, an owl appears at night. Speak with each one:
in the waterfall level near the pillar (green tree, first warp zone),
in the windmill level near the windmill (orange tree, air warp zone),
in the forest near the transforming cabin (green tree, outside rainy warp zone),
and outside the octopus-looking building containing the revolving model of the solar system and the counting cube (pink tree, temple/science warp zone).
These locations were shown on the walls of the fez-wearing elder's house (in Gomez's hometown, across the bridge).
Hidden room
After speaking with each owl, they fly to the rainy warp zone's giant owl room. When all four arrive, a panel reveals a door behind the owl statue opposite the entrance. It leads to another owl room with an anticube.
Glitch: If you remove the patch, the original version of the game had a glitch where you could access the hidden room without the four owls: stand in front of the entrance, rotate the room twice, and press up to enter. Keep in mind, the room won't be "completed" until the main secret (four owls) is finished and the next room is visited.
The square symbols on the bell's four sides are numbers (1, 3, 6, and 10) that represent the amount of times to ring each side. Any order should work. The bell disappears forever, replaced by an anticube.

Best Answer
Look at the painting with many fezzes. The hats are a code:
This anti-cube will auto-complete a QR code room later in the game. Vice versa, if you complete that QR code room, the monocle room will auto-complete (white node on map → gold).
