Head back outside for a celebratory ceremony if you want to have one, then look around your island. Once it’s done-and-dusted, you’ll be able to peruse the fine art room of the Museum. That means it’ll be closed for a full day while renovations take place. With the pristine painting now in his possession, Blathers will begin construction on the new-and-improved Museum. Take him up on the cut-price deal, then go and show the art to Blathers. The first piece of art Redd sells you is random, but will always be real. When you baulk at the figure he’ll drop the sum 100-fold, and you’ll only have to pay 4,980 Bells. Speak to Redd and he’ll offer you a totally legit piece of artwork for the low-low price of about 498,000 Bells. He’s managed to drop his “crazy” moniker from previous games, but he’s no less wily. You should find a new visitor – the sneaky orange fox, Redd. Now wait until the next day and look around your island. There's no time limit on any of this, by the way, so don't stress if it takes you a little while to find 60 unique donations.Īfter announcing his plan for the new exhibit, Blathers will ask you to keep an eye out for art to put on display, and to bring him any you find. Once the museum is built, donating a further 40 critters and/or fossils to Blathers (for a total of 60 donations since your game began) will lead him to make the following announcement: a new fine art wing is being planned. Give Blathers a further 15 critters after he asks for them and he'll decide to make your island his new home, and begin construction on a museum. Tom Nook then gets in touch with his old pal Blathers, who'll set up a base camp from which to study your island's natural history. To unlock the Museum building, you'll first need to donate five critters ( bugs, fish, and/or sea creatures) to Tom Nook when he asks for them (this should happen in the first few days of your game). In order for Redd to begin visiting your island, you'll need a museum with an art wing. If you're new to the game and haven't yet unlocked Redd's visits, here's how to do so. Redd wasn't included in Animal Crossing: New Horizons at launch, but he was added with the game's first major update last April. How to get art and unlock Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler
