The Museum is a stone building on the left or right edge of Main Street. It is a building that displays bugsfishdeep-sea creaturesfossilspaintings, and sculptures. The curator is an owl named Blathers, who can often be seen sleeping on the job during the daytime, but is always awake at night. He can be found there at any hour of the day. Upstairs, his sister Celeste runs the Museum Shop: a new feature to Animal Crossing: New Leaf that sells silver tools, museum-exclusive furniture, carpets, and wallpaper, and allows the player to rent exhibits in which one may place whatever he or she pleases. She will also have to be woken up during the day, but refuses to admit that she was asleep. Like her brother, she can be found 24 hours a day. To unlock the museum Shop, all players must have collectively donated 20 items to the Museum (at least one for each exhibit), and 14 days must have passed since the mayor has been in the town. Blathers will be found thinking. Talk to him, and he'll mention expanding the Museum to include a second floor.

Upon completing all of the exhibits, the player will be rewarded with a museum model. Please note, donations will not be accepted if the player's gates are open.

In previous titles, players could go downstairs to get coffee from Brewster. In Animal Crossing: New LeafThe Roost Café is an unlockable public works project that becomes available seven days after opening the Museum shop, and if the player has donated at least 50 items to the Museum. Blathers will appear upset one day. Talk to him and he'll mention opening a café.
