Museum Kudos:

Museum Kudos are the reward for helping out the Museum. In recent months the Museum's specialist field archaeologists have discovered an ancient island, largely untouched since the God Wars, positively littered with the remains of long-dead species. If your Kudos are high enough (100+) when they finish building a safe passage to the island, you may well find yourself invited to share your expertise. To see how the construction of the barge and canal is getting on, head over to the land just north of the Dig Site.

There are three ways to earn Museum Kudos:

• Archaeology: Add to exhibits on the first floor by cleaning rocks brought from the Digsite. (50 kudos)
• History: Give Historian Minas (2nd floor) information about past quests. (95 kudos)
• Natural History: Talk to Orlando Smith in the basement and answer the quizzes at each display stand. (28 kudos)

The current maximum amount of Museum Kudos is 183. Your Kudos are displayed in the top right corner of your screen when you're inside the Museum. The Information clerk on the main floor will reward you in certain skills after you receive Kudos. (Smithing, Hunter, Crafting, Prayer, and Slayer.)

Archeology:

In order to earn kudos by means of archeology, you need to have completed The Dig Site quest. Get Leather boots, Leather gloves, a Trowel, a Specimen brush, and a Rock pick from the tool case in the Dig Site cleaning area. Take an Uncleaned find (you may only hold one at a time) from the Dig Site specimen rocks and use it on a specimen table.



Doing this will reveal the item inside. Certain items, listed below, are valuable and when shown to the archeologists they'll tell you to add them to a display case.



Most items aren't valuable and you can either give them to an archaeologist for 5gp or put in a Storage crate for a random item (ores, bones, fletching items, weaponry, coins). Putting items in the Storage crate might also reward you with an Antique Lamp that gives 500xp.

You will be rewarded with 10 Kudos for rare specimens. The specimens considered rare are:

Item name	Image	Case number
Pottery		39
Old symbol		36
Ancient symbol		37
Ancient coin		44
Old coin		45

While cleaning specimens, you may also find a Clean necklace. Show this to one of the archaeologists and they will teach you how to enchant Ruby Necklaces, giving them 5 teleports to the Dig Site.



You may also accidentally destroy the rock. If this happens just take another from the pile.

History:

After completing certain quests, you can give Historian Minas information about them. He'll reward you with Museum Kudos (5) and sometimes an Antique Lamp. In total you will receive 75 Kudos and 13k XP from the History section of the Museum.

Quests that you can earn Kudos from are:

• Defender of Varrock
• Demon Slayer
• Ghostly robes (mini-quest)
• Glorious Memories
• The Grand Tree
• Hazeel Cult
• In Aid of the Myreque
• Making History
• Meeting History
• Merlin's Crystal
• Observatory Quest
• Priest in Peril
• Rune Mysteries
• Shield of Arrav
• A Tail of Two Cats
• Temple of Ikov
• What Lies Below (requires Dagon'hai History - found in Varrock Library or in a POH's bookcases)

Natural History:

Speak to Orlando Smith in the basement of the Museum, and agree to help him by taking the quizzes. Now, read the plaque beside each exhibit and answer the questions on each creature. You'll need to get 3 questions right to earn Kudos. Don't worry, if you a question wrong you can simply be asked another one. Answering all the quizzes will reward you with 28 Kudos. The natural historians walking around in each area can tell you more about each creature. Once you have answered all the quizzes, go back and talk to Orlando Smith for 1000xp in Slayer and Hunter.

Rewards

When you reach certain amounts of Kudos, speak to the Information clerk for a reward.
51+ Kudos: 1000 experience in Mining
101+ Kudos: 2500 experience in Crafting and Mining
151+ Kudos: 4000 experience in Crafting, Hunter, Prayer, Slayer, and Smithing

Also, once you reach 100 Kudos, the Museum promises to invite you to the recently discovered island, once the canal barge is complete.

You can start the Distraction and Diversion Shattered Heart from the museum.
