Quick answer: The museum contains 82 sets and 409 individual items: 22 Archaeology sets, 22 Fish sets, 19 Flora sets, and 19 Insect sets. Donate the first copy of a new item unless an active story quest needs it.
Museum completion totals
| Wing | Sets | Items | Main sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archaeology | 22 | 110 | Dig sites, mine biomes, fishing artifacts, rare materials |
| Fish | 22 | 109 | River, pond, ocean, mines, bait, traps, weather |
| Flora | 19 | 95 | Crops, flowers, forage, mine biomes, late-story areas |
| Insects | 19 | 95 | Surface seasons, weather, mines, Deep Woods, Apiary, Terrarium |
| Total | 82 | 409 | All regions and seasons |
Most sets contain five items. The Legendary Fish Set contains four, which is why the Fish Wing total is 109 rather than 110.

Best order to complete the museum
1. Seasonal surface sets
At the start of each season, list the missing crop, flower, forage, fish, and insect entries. Weather and time-window targets come first because a missed rainy day may not return before day 28. Multi-season items can wait.
2. Story-gated mine sets
Use each mine run for several wings at once: carry the fishing rod and bug net, check forage, break artifact nodes, and protect tablet items. Elevator progress makes repeat visits efficient, so do not sacrifice a seasonal surface target merely to grind an evergreen mine floor.
3. Archaeology and random-source sets
Dig sites and artifact sources can produce duplicates. Rotate regions when one area's set is complete and use archaeology perks to improve the route. The Fish Trap Artifact Set comes from trap-related collection rather than ordinary ground digging, so track it separately.
4. Apiary and Terrarium production
The Honey Set requires Honey, Premium Honey, Deluxe Honey, Legendary Honey, and Honeycomb. Fill Apiaries with appropriate bees; Honeycomb can appear as a bonus when collecting output.
Terrarium Treasures contains three bug-pheromone rarities plus Uncommon and Rare Fish Bait. There is no Legendary Fish Bait slot in that set. Store the museum copy before consuming bait in the field.
Museum rewards and collection handling
Set rewards are collected through the museum when the final required item is donated. Claim the reward before assuming a set is complete, then check the wing display for the next gap. Because a reward can include useful progression items, finishing an almost-complete set often beats selling the fifth item for immediate cash.
Use three storage rules:
- Put unknown or first-copy items in a “museum check” chest.
- Donate before processing, gifting, cooking, or shipping the item.
- Keep one rare duplicate when its source is seasonal, weather-locked, or used by a story quest.
Common missing-item causes
- Correct season but wrong time, weather, or water type.
- Looking in surface regions for a mine-biome set.
- Selling a Perfect Ore or Perfect Gem before checking Archaeology.
- Consuming Fish Bait or Bug Pheromones before donating the production output.
- Expecting Legendary fish without the required Fishing perk.
- Ignoring traps, Apiaries, Terrariums, or late-story collection sources.
- Checking an old 58-set checklist that predates the full 82-set museum.
Museum checklist FAQ
How many museum sets are there?
There are 82 sets and 409 individual donation slots across four wings.
What should I donate first?
Donate the first copy of every new item unless an active main-story quest needs that exact item immediately. Museum completion is permanent; ordinary sale opportunities repeat.
Why does the Fish Wing have 109 items instead of 110?
Twenty-one Fish sets contain five items, while the Legendary Fish Set contains four.
Are late-game items visible without opening the spoiler?
No. The complete checklist is inside a warning-labeled disclosure box. The summary and strategy sections remain readable without revealing late mine and story names.
