      Welcome to the gallery

      Journeys are stories told through objects from the world’s museums. Look closely, pin where each was made, then pick the year. A new gallery of five opens every day.

      How to play

      1. Look

        A museum object and its label. ClickTap the photo to zoom.

      2. Pin where it was made

        ClickTap the map or search a place.

      3. Pick the year

        Slide from 4000 BCE to 2000. The map’s borders shift with the era.

      Scoring

      Up to 5,000 for the place and 5,000 for the year, so 50,000 is a perfect day. Anywhere in the right country scores full marks for the place (the note may name the city); the year gets leeway, more for older objects. A new gallery opens at your local midnight.
