How donations work

The museum has four wings: archaeology, fish, insects and flora. Each wing is divided into sets, and rewards are paid only when a whole set is complete. A set with one piece missing is therefore worth nothing yet.

Donating never consumes something you need elsewhere in a way you cannot recover: everything donatable can be found again. But a first catch is easy to sell by reflex, so it is worth checking a set before shipping anything new.

The Archaeology wing fills from dig sites, and where you dig decides what you can find: every outdoor area draws from the common finds plus one set of its own, and each mine biome draws from its own set plus the shared mine finds. Fish traps, dive spots, the ritual altar and Mist Spots each yield a set nothing else does. One set remains hidden until you take a perk. Out of Place Artifacts only ever drop once Well Placed is bought, which is why five pieces can look unobtainable for a whole playthrough. A dig site on your own farm likewise appears only with Former Farmers. Each artifact's page names the places it comes from and the perk it needs, if any.

Reading the wings

Each wing has its own page with every set, each piece and the reward ladder for completed sets. Use these lists to check your museum collection in the game.

Each piece links to its item page, which says where it comes from. This is useful when a set is one obscure artifact short.
