Capping off the events announced in mid-April, Blathers has turned his museum into a funhouse of sorts. To celebrate International Museum Day, everyone’s favorite wide-eyed curator is running a stamp rally, and it wouldn’t be Animal Crossing without a few prizes being up for grabs.
Like the May Day event, there isn’t a whole lot to this one, but the rewards are certainly better than that tiny Mother’s Day mug from a few weeks back. Not that the value of the reward was really the point there.
A stamp rally is a small activity designed to encourage a proper tour of a venue, exhibit, or event, with a prize usually dished out for those who collect all the stamps on each corresponding card.
In the case of Animal Crossing, Blathers has dropped three stations around three of the exhibits, and it’s up to you to wander around and add each stamp to the cards he gives you upon arrival, while hopefully admiring the displays you’ve helped build up over time.
As for availability, the Museum Day stamp rally follows in the footsteps of every other Animal Crossing: New Horizons event to come before. It’s available until the end of May and can be completed in around 5-10 minutes, so there’s no need to rush.
With Jolly Redd showing up a few weeks prior to Museum Day and convincing Blathers to add a fourth exhibit onto the museum for the dubious fox’s genuine art, you’d think unlocking the art gallery would be a requirement for the full museum day experience. It’s not.
The Animal Crossing Museum Day stamp rally only includes the first three museum exhibits: fish, fossil, and bug. So don’t worry if you haven’t build up (or even unlocked) the art gallery yet. Maybe next year, Michelangelo.
Blathers has set up three Stamp Rally stations in each of the three default exhibits throughout the museum, and it’s up to you to find them. Track them down, stamp the corresponding card, and take each completed set to him for a themed reward. They’re not hard to find. After all, the museum is fairly small.
You won’t have to go filling in holes and chopping down trees in a labyrinth-like the May Day Maze, so don’t worry about missing out. But if you have some trouble tracking every last Stamp Rally station down, we’ve got the full location list down below.
So what do you get for running this quick little activity for Blathers? Some wall plaques! Your feathered friend will reward your little excursion with a themed plaque (fish, fossil, and bug) for each of the three complete stamp rally cards you hand back to him. You’ll have to hand in each individually, so just keep pestering him until he delivers his dues.
And that’s it, really. Like the last few Animal Crossing New Horizons events, there’s not a whole lot to it. Still, the plagues will go well next to your wall-mounted PhD and stacks of important papers. Raymond will be pleased.

The hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.
