Animal Crossing: New Horizons begins its Museum Day event today, and it offers exclusive items pertaining to the exhibits in the museum (via Animal Crossing World).
Did you know that today is International Museum Day? In celebration, our friend Blathers has put together a special event that runs from now through the end of the month. I do hope you'll be able to participate – there are prizes involved, after all. Oho! pic.twitter.com/YljSgbjCNe

Museum Day is named confusingly, because the event actually runs until May 31. It relates to the activities possible in the event, which is a daily Stamp Rally set up by Blathers. The player will stamp their cards at certain Stamp Stations located in the Fish, Bugs, and Fossils exhibits. Each stamp card has three unique stamps, and there are nine stamps to collect in total, so there’s no reason to run around looking for a Stamp Station in the Art Gallery.
Once all nine stamps have been gotten, Blathers will give the player a reward. These are the Fish Plaque, the Bug Plaque, and the Fossil Plaque—the decorations outside of each of the entrances to the exhibits in the Museum foyer. These cannot be customised, nor will they work as doorplates on the player’s house. And, as far as we know, there is no cumulative reward for completing the Stamp Rally on every day of the Museum Day event.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out now for the Nintendo Switch.
