.. How do I use the Provenance program?

When you call Melina to ask for the filing cabinet key, she'll ask you to research the provenance of some of the items in the museum.

Where is the filing cabinet key?

You'll find some information in the Messenger program --

-- and Niobe has a book that will help you too. When you have those items, it's time to start.

Open the program to find that for each item (you'll be doing three total), you'll need a photo of the item taken with Nancy's cell, the type of artifact, when it was received and by whom, the name of the current owner, the name of the exhibit it comes from, and when the loan ends.

You can find all that information in the office; if you're having trouble getting it, read to the end of this hint for the details you need.

You can find the name of the exhibit each item comes from, when it was received, and who received it on the clipboard to the left of the closed bookcase in the office. Open the bookcase and read the red notebook in the middle for the name of the owner and the length of the loan.

To find the information you need, combine the clipboard info with the notebook info. For example, the clipboard tells you what exhibit the gold leaf necklace comes from. The notebook tells you which museum that exhibit is in, which tells you the owner of the piece. And so on.

I initially tried taking a snapshot of these pages with my cell so I could refer to them without having to keep running back to the bookcase, but that doesn't work -- Nancy's phone is plugged in to download the phone, so you can't access it while you're using the computer. Rats.

If you want to look them all up at once, however, the three pieces you'll be researching are --

-- the gold leaf necklace, the Nemean lion, and the vase with four women and a bird.

For the photos, you can't get in terribly close, so you'll need to zoom in when you take the photos. In the amateur game, Nancy says "Got it!" when it's framed right.

So to get started, go take a photo of the gold leaf necklace (it's just to the left of the smashed display case), take a good photo, then come back to the computer and click on the little black box to the right of the computer to plug in Nancy's phone.

Now when you open the Provenance program, that photo will show up. If you have other photos on your cell, you may need to scroll through them to find the right one.

When you think you have the right info and picture, click on "Submit." If it's right, you get the message "Submission accepted. Provenance confirmed," and then tells you the next piece it wants to know about. If it says "Data entered does not match records on file," you need to start again.

Here's the information you need:

Gold green leaf necklace

Nemean (lion)

Vase with four women
