I'm not joking. I just completed it in like 5 minutes. There's three prizes, all of them are placques that have a striking resemblance to the ones given to you by the HHA, one for each of the three original sections of the museum: bugs, fish and fosssils. There's three stands in each of these three sections, and you just have to go to each stand and get a stamp. Get all three, talk to Blathers, get your placque, move another section. That's it.
Museum Stamp Rally event is even blander than the May Day Event

Yes, it was very upsetting. I don’t understand why, instead of this bland activities that are downright boring they don’t bring back NPCs like Katrina. They were much more engaging and fun to have around rather than museum stamps. Also, why not one dedicated to the art gallery?

I think it was literally made for very young kids.
Honestly I don't get it. They should have just not done an event at all

The way they've done it, it would be better if we would just have Blathers gather everyone on the plaza, talk about the importance of museums, science, history, and then gave us a souvenir. It would be much more meaningful and would also be more interesting on an educational level.
This event does look like it was rushed, especially as it never mentions the art gallery. Hopefully they'll do another event tied to art (and I sure hope it's more than just go there, get a stamp, take your prize, go home).

Man that would have been way better!! They could have even included a little Q and A between the villagers and Blathers
I think the only good thing about this event was seeing that there's a meteor in the fossil exhibit. I never noticed it before. The plaques are okay.. I guess. I think they didn't include the art exhibit because it's new, and I think most people only have 2-3 pieces of art in their museum right now. Would have been kinda hard to incorporate, based on how the rest of the exhibits went

I mean... How much time irl are you going to devote to international museum day? It's not a big event. It's just a cute little something extra. I would've expected absolutely nothing for may day and museum day if you'd asked me a month ago, so I dunno. SOMETHING seems better than nothing...
Thanks for saying what the rewards are lol. I was wondering if it was worth going back to May (I'm in August right now) for the rewards but everyone was like "I'm not gonna spoil them for you~ :3c" and now I can see that it's deeeefinitely not worth it lol.

when i went to the museum this morning, i was like "that's it?" SCREAMING. it's fine though, but i know people complained about bunny day, but then this is too toned down. i can't.
i didn't think the may day event was bland at all even though it was simple and can be done fairly quickly.. and while i know this event is pretty much the same (can be done quickly) i like these small additions that switch up the day to day routine whether it be small or not and you get basically free stuff out of it.

I think it could have been more fun as a scavenger hunt, where Blathers gives you clues about different stuff in the museum and you get stamps/prizes for finding them.
I mean, I liked the May Day event for what it is; it's just that the overall reaction of the community was that the event wasn't really good, with most people defining it as being bland.
Now, the museum event is bland af. It's bizarre that they took time to make exclusive assets (the stands and plaques) to the event, while also writing a few exclusive lines of dialog to it on top of designing the "screens" to represent the stamps, but they took all that work on something that takes 5 minutes to complete and it's totally forgettable.
I feel like the work of the devs wasn't really valued, as the event could be a lot more interesting and make all the work they put into it a lot more worth it.

This is exactly how I thought it would be as I got into the museum. Then I got my first stamp and realized it was just that :/

It was a fine event. The plaques are cute. Absolutely already have the fossil one up in my home (I'm a dinosaur-themed town, I had to really.) Was a nice thing to get me up and playing for a little longer, since my gameplay has kinda of wound down just waiting for the wedding event TBH

The only difference is that you actually sorta learn something at school trips lol. This event was basically running around finding stamping areas. Maybe it’s a Japanese thing and I don’t get it lol.
I liked May Day because at least it was actually challenging AND you got to meet Rover while getting his suitcase.
Imo, I mean yeah, it’s kinda cute and all but it just felt...lacking? I would have loved if it discussed the importance of museums and we got to help Blathers with the museum for a day. I do feel like it should be up for a week and not two weeks.
Also they forgot the art section u_u That made me kinda sad tbh.
Edit: So understanding everything now, I kinda appreciate the event a little more. However, I just wish there would be something more like having a fun fact appear after having a stamp. Then I would be 100% on board. I don't hate the event, I just think it could have been improved more. Also I actually like the plaques! They fit the dark antique theme of my house.

i get what OP is saying. i like that there's something new to do. but i don't want something new to do just for the sake of having something new to do. there should be a balance between like a bunny day event (overkill) and like this (basically non-existent almost, they might as well just mail the items to us).
but i had fun with May day though. i love rover. and i think that was a good balance!
even blather's map quest on pocket camp was more challenging than this omg. not that i want pocket camp-ish events here, no way. na uh.
WAIT... is it true we'll get different stamps daily???? that's good then if so

I don't know if it's officially called an "event" but the problem I see is that people think of "events" (meaning every specal occurrence) as special activities and prizes. This seems to be designed to just get you to go into the different sections of the museum, which you normally never HAVE to do, and get you interested in looking at them. Maybe it's a Japanese thing, idk, but we're going at it with the wrong mindset and expectations.
(Disclaimer: It's still valid to think it's boring and two weeks is definitely overkill.)
