Guide to the Museum Day Stamp Rally in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
International Museum Day is back, and in true Animal Crossing: New Horizons fashion, the game is celebrating with an in-game event called the Stamp Rally, running until May 31. You’ve got nearly two weeks to dive in and enjoy this unique experience. This is the second Stamp Rally since the game launched, and just like last year, it invites players to explore their island’s museum to collect stamps while appreciating Blathers’ impressive collection of critters and artifacts. This year, there’s an exciting twist: you can now collect stamps in the newly added art wing.
**How to Participate in the Stamp Rally**
Getting involved in the Stamp Rally is a breeze. Simply head to your island’s museum and chat with Blathers, who will fill you in on the details and guide you to visit four different wings: the fish, bug, fossil, and art wings. The art wing is a fresh addition for this year’s event, making it a must-see.
**How the Stamp Rally Works**
Your mission is to locate all the Stamp Rally stations scattered throughout the four museum wings. Each wing features three stations, totaling 12 stations to find. Interact with each station to stamp your card. Once you’ve collected all the stamps, return to Blathers for a completion stamp and your reward.
**How to Complete the Stamp Rally**
Finding the Stamp Rally stations is straightforward—they’re bright yellow and red booths positioned in front of specific exhibits. The twist is that the locations of these booths change daily, but the wings are compact enough that you won’t spend too long searching for them.
**What Do You Get for Completing the Stamp Rally?**
When you hand in your completed stamp cards to Blathers, you’ll earn golden plaques representing a fish, butterfly, fossil, and statue, similar to those displayed in the museum’s lobby. These can be hung in your home, perfect for those looking to create their own rival museum. You can revisit the museum and complete the Stamp Rally on different days, with the stamp station locations changing daily, though the rewards remain the same.
That’s the lowdown on this fun event! After the Stamp Rally, get ready for Wedding Season, a photography-focused event happening throughout June. If you’re also working on completing Blathers’ art museum wing by purchasing from Jolly Redd, be sure to check out some insights on how he operates.
