For kids only: the Boredom Button
Visiting the National Museum can sometimes be a drag, so The National Museum has come up with the answer The Boredom Button!
Anything can happen when you find it and give it a push! Statues come to life, paintings talk, and secret chests open to reveal their treasures. Nobody knows just what to expect. You may even meet a fire-breathing dragon, a sword-swinging samurai, or a thief out to snatch The Golden Horns. Be on the lookout, because the Boredom Button might be found here, there, or anywhere at all in The National Museum’s gigantic building.
