How to Play International Museum Day in ACNH?

1. When the International Museum Day event begins, you may hear a morning announcement from Isabelle, which informs you of the news of a Stamp Rally holds by Blathers. Then you can head to your museum and talk to Blathers.

2. Blathers will tell you about International Museum Day and a Stamp Rally is undergoing to celebrate the event. Once you have spoken to Blathers, you’ll be able to collect stamps by touring all the exhibits in your museum, including fish, insects, fossils, and art. 

3. Just go to a trolley in the museum, open your stamp card, and press A to put a stamp in one of the positions. Each stamp card has three unique stamps to collect, each corresponding to each station in the exhibition.

4. Once you collected all three stamps from a gallery, speak to Blathers again, to obtain the rewards for finishing each stamp card, including a completion stamp and a prize: a plaque based on the gallery associated with the completed card.

On the following days during the event period, the Stamp Rally will be held at the Museum again. But the stamp station listed on the stamp card, and the place you need to visit, will change every day.
