Museum

This is Blathers, the owl that is the head of the Museum in animal crossing. He evaluates the fossils that the player finds as well as accepting the donations in which include fish, bugs, fossils, and artwork. He is usually seen sleeping during the day, the player startles him into waking up when they talk to him. He hates bugs but still manages to tell the player facts about bugs when they donate an item to him. He does not accept donations of items that are already in the museum.

This is Celeste, Blather's little sister who also works in the museum. In earlier games she heads the observatory and teaches the player about constellations. In New Leaf she manages the gift shop on the second floor of the museum. She also rents rooms for museum exhibits for the player to use. She is one of the most adorable characters in the game in my opinion.

The gift shop has items such as silver versions of the bug catching net and the silver fishing rod. Unlike the versions bought in the Nookling store they increase the accuracy of the player in fishing or catching bugs. The gift shop also has special wallpapers and floors that can only be bought there. The player also has the option of going into exhibits to see all the fish, fossils, bugs, and art that they have donated to the museum. The museum is an essential part of the game, completing your collection is one of the goals of the game!
