You are actually travelling to another island* (which is actually a simulation of the Pop Art Museum on the real Early Poptropica). When you receive the message, get in the Poptropica blimp and go there.
*This was the first island where you would leave the island during a quest. This idea was later used for the Spook Central promotional game for Ghost Story Island. In 2012, a cross-islands theme was used for the first Poptropica game for the DS, Poptropica Adventures.
