Introduction:RuneScape is an ancient world, created thousands of years ago. The many races and cultures that now cover it haven't always existed, and many that once were are now gone. The Grand Museum of Varrock has always been on the lookout for ancient artifacts of long gone times, and it has recently spent a great deal of its annual income on creating a (nearly) complete history of every event and culture that has ever been upon RuneScape.

Since the Museum's workers are too busy taking care of the Museum itself, they are unable to leave and acquire new information. Therefore they rely greatly on the information supplied by helpful adventurers.

Museum Characters

There are many different personalities in the Museum, and many of them offer rewards if you help them out.

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 is 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. (75 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 153. 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, Hunting, Crafting, Prayer, and Slayer)

Archaeology:You need to have completed the Digsite Quest to earn Kudos this way.

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 archaelogist 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'll be rewarded with 10 Kudos for rare specimens. The specimens considered rare are:

Item name	Image	Case number
Pottery		22
Old symbol		36
Ancient symbol		37
Ancient coin		44
Old coin		45

You may also find a Clean Necklace while cleaning specimens. Show this to one of the archaelogists and he'll 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:

• Temple of Ikov
• Shield of Arrav
• Observatory Quest
• Merlin's Crystal
• Demon Slayer
• The Grand Tree
• A Tail of Two Cats
• Making History
• In Aid of the Myreque
• Devious Minds
• Hazeel's Cult
• What Lies Below (requires Dagon'hai History - found in Varrock Library)
• Rune Mysteries
• Desert Treasure/Curse of Zaros mini-quest

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've 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 the the recently discovered island, once the canal barge is complete.
