Now it would be a good idea to explore the rest of the museum, as there are hints for the puzzles in the game scattered throughout the rooms. Once you are done exploring, return to the studio again. There are 4 objects on pedestals in this room. You need to take each of these objects and place them on a pedestal in one of the downstairs galleries. This will open a portal to another world. The correct galleries are marked on the downstairs map with numbers 1-4, corresponding with the objects from left to right. Start by picking up the first object and placing it on the pedestal at location 1 on the map.
