It's a fairly linear location - your job is to approach the objects and interact with them. Examine individual dinosaurs, pick up the hat lying on the bench and then go upstairs.
Astronomy Museum

This section of the museum is very similar to the previous one, except you have to see exhibits related to space travel. Get in the rover, admire the rockets, and lastly get in the spaceship.
Natural History Center
![After that, you can leave the museum - go through the door and jump into the water - The Last of Us 2: The Birthday Gift - flashback, Seattle Day 1 Ellie walkthrough - Seattle Day 1 - Ellie - The Last of Us 2 Guide](/the-last-of-us-part-ii/gfx/word/219182937.jpg)
After that, you can leave the museum - go through the door and jump into the water. It turns out that the Natural History Center is closed - have Joel help Ellie get inside through the window. Inside, search the area and move forward, passing through narrow passageways and going deeper into the center. At some point you will run into... a boar.
Joel will join you. Ellie wakes up and the flashback sequence ends.
