The museum is a great place to store your rare items.

You can donate fish, bugs and paintings to Blathers in the museum so that they may be displayed in the exhibitions.

Fossils can also be donate but you need Blathers to assess (i.e. identify) them before he can accept them. Blathers will never accept duplicates so you can sell your doubles or swap them with friends.

Once you’ve donated one of each item to Blathers, and at least 20 items in total, continue speaking to Blathers on fourteen separate days until he talks about the museum shop.

From this point you can construct the museum shop as a Public Work from the Town Hall.

Once you’ve built the museum shop you can rent out four exhibitions rooms at a price of 10000 bells each. The rooms are eight squares by eight and can be decorated just like your house.

You can even change the sign outside the door and give the room a name. Use the exhibition rooms to show off your cool items to visitors!

Fossils

Every day there will be an average of three fossils buried in your town. You can find up to six fossils a day if you are lucky.

You can take the fossils to Blathers in the museum so that they can be assessed. You can then donate the fossils to Blathers to be displayed in the museum or sell them at Re-Tail to earn bells.

The following table outlines the possible fossils you can unearth and the dinosaur they will form:
