International Museum Day is an event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons held from May 18 to May 31, based on the real-world observance of the same name. During this event, the bug, fish, fossil, and art galleries of the museum each contain three stamp stations which may change location each day. Interacting with the stations will let the player stamp their card.

After obtaining all three stamps from a gallery, the player can talk to Blathers, who will congratulate them and give them a completion stamp and a prize: a plaque based on the gallery associated with the completed card. The stamp rally can be repeated for the duration of the event, and Blathers will reward the player the prizes again.

International Museum Day was introduced in the 1.2.0 April Free Update, and the stamp stations in the art exhibit were added in the 1.10.0 Free Update.

Completion quotes[edit]

Blathers talking to the player after all stamps have been collected
  • Bug gallery

"By my beak! You've finished the Stamp Rally in the bug exhibit!
Your willingness to explore the bug rooms with such gusto is...admirable. I, myself, find lingering there quite impossible!
Anyhoot, here is the prize that was promised!
"

  • Alternative:

  • Fish gallery

"Hoot! I say, hoo! Look at you! You've finished the Stamp Rally in the fish gallery!
I say, did you happen to take any photographs of your quest?
Your NookPhone takes marvelous photos. And the fish rooms make an elegant backdrop, to be sure.
Wot wot?! Ah! Of course! Here's that prize you were promised."

  • Alternative:
"With that, you've finished the Stamp Rally in the fish gallery! Hoot! I say, hoo! Look at you!
I say, did you happen to take any photographs of your quest?

  • Fossil gallery

"My feathers! You've finished the Stamp Rally in the fossil gallery!
As the host of these rallies, it pleases me to my pinfeathers to see you frolic amid the fossils so!
Indeed, it is with great pride that I present you with the prize you were promised."

  • Alternative:
"Very well done! You've finished the Stamp Rally in the fossil gallery!
As the host of these rallies, it pleases me to my pinfeathers to see you frolic amid the fossils so!
The views you get as you stand upon the circles on the floor are always such a sight.
And the Tree of Life on the floor, which charts the path of evolution?
It never fails to tickle my talons. I do hope you took a moment to appreciate it all.
If you didn't, then I hope you will!"
  • Art gallery

"There! It pleases me to report that the Stamp Rally for the art gallery is finished. You've done this owl proud!
Of course, there is so much more than just art on display in that gallery.
Hoot-hoo! It's true! To look at art is to look into the mind of the artist, their culture, and its history. Art can teach us so much!
Of course while it is true that the occasional forgery finds itself in circulation, which is truly reprehensible...Each and every piece on display in our museum was expertly appraised and confirmed to be genuine.
So please, I encourage you to peruse our gallery to your heart's content. It will not lead you astray!"

  • All galleries

"Hoot and wot wot?! You've collected all the stamps available today?
To think you've enjoyed the Stamp Rally to such a degree! I can't help but puff my feathers with pride!
I thank you, and I hope you continue to revel in all this museum has to offer."
