What to Do if the Event Won't Start

Make Sure Your Switch has the Correct Date and Time

If the date of your Switch doesn't match the date and time of the International Museum Day event, you won't be able to participate. If you're a time traveler, you'll need to revert the date and time to match real time.

Time Traveling Guide

Connect to the Internet

If your Nintendo Switch has not connected to the Internet since before midnight on May 18, the International Museum Day Event will not start, even if your in-game clock is on the correct date.

Although a notification for an update will not occur, your Switch will still need to connect to the Internet to gain access to the event.

Build the Museum

If the Museum is still a tent and haven't upgraded it yet, Blathers will not start the event as there are no galleries to place the Stamp Stations. Make sure to upgrade your Museum to participate in this event!
