The Museum can be found in the South-East corner of Pelican Town, south of the Blacksmith.

The museum contains a library and a gallery for displaying the museum's collection. At the start of the game, the entire museum collection is empty. Gunther, the curator, will ask The Player to help by donating Artifacts and Minerals, as well as finding the missing Lost Books from the library.

Only a single copy of any particular item may be donated. Items can be rearranged in the donation interface, or by clicking Gunther's desk once the collection is complete. Donated items may be examined by right-clicking on them.

Penny tutors Vincent and Jas in the library on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Donation Rewards

Gunther offers rewards when the collection has grown to certain points, or for the donation of specific artifacts.

Achievements

There are 2 Achievements associated with donating Artifacts or Minerals to the Museum.

  • Treasure Trove (Donate 40 different items to the museum)
  • A Complete Collection (Complete the museum collection)

Notes

  • There is a total of 102 spaces available for donations to be placed but a total of only 95 available items to be donated. Six spaces in the center of the largest table cannot be reached to examine items placed on them, so it may be advisable to leave this area empty.
    • If using a controller, any diagonal item may be unreachable for examination once donated.
  • In order to move items inside the donation interface on the Switch, you'll have to go into "Options" and disable "Use Controller Style Menus".
  • In iOS (and possibly other mobile versions) items on the bottom most row cannot be moved in the donation interface. However, if the character goes to the front desk one tile to the left of Gunther, you get the option to rearrange the collection (even without completing the collection). In this mode, all the items are moveable.

History

  • 1.4: Added donation rewards for 35, 70, 80, and 90 items donated. Added ability to rearrange the museum artifacts after collection is complete. Fixed bug where movement of inventory inside donation screen would prevent donation of items.
