How to unlock the Museum and the Shovel?
The museum is one of the most important buildings in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Find out how to unlock and upgrade it into a haven of hard-earned fish, insects and fossils.
How to find a fossil?
When you walk on your island, you can see small stars on the ground. This means that a fossil is hiding underneath. Equip your shovel and start digging. Once dug up, the fossil will have the shape of a blue pebble with white shapes on it. Then go have them examined at the museum then sell them at a good price if you want. Depending on the fossil, the price is totally different!
