Follow the bird
A bird will guide you along the trail, helping you discover the collection through exciting quiz questions and creative challenges. Every completed activity earns you a stamp. Is your stamp card full and still want more? Don’t worry, your arm has room to spare! Trade in your full card at the end for a cool temporary tattoo featuring a surprise miniature from the vending machine — a lasting memory of your visit to the KBR museum!
