Go to a museum. An important message waits for you there.
Use all your senses to discern which item in the museum wants to speak to you: Maybe a landscape painting, taxidermied polar bear, Roman coin--anything is possible. This powerful artifact will bring you to another place and time to share the message.
Sit or stand before it. Relax. You might notice a change in temperature or a breeze. New sounds and smells appear. The museum dissolves around you. You are in the place where this item was created, or found. You are inside the painting, on a creaking wooden ship or spending the Roman coin for bread.
Someone here has a message for you.
What does their voice sound like? What is their name?
Why have they waited to talk to you? What is their message?
Pay attention: Museum dwellers speak in many voices, but rarely at length.
What is this new place like? Explore it.
Now you know something no one else knows.
Bonus: leave a hint in the museum's guest book.
With friends: Each person should find their own item. Once you have time-travelled, share what you learned (unless, of course, it was a secret.)
