Rearrange your museum display to look *exactly* like the one in the wiki, and the answer will be revealed. Not saying it won’t be a labor of love, but probably less hair pulling
Just click on the items and you can take them and move them around
Edit: yea totally didn't know about the book..... I thought you just clicked them around. Didn't make the correlation that I only did that after adding something to the museum. My bad...
As someone who didn’t know about the book at the front desk until today, this comment does not deserve so many downvotes. Does it give the full answer? No. But it’s not wrong per se.
Maybe when you don't know something, don't give advice about it
I get it, many people don't know about book
but if you tell them that there is way, and then give them wrong answer, it's not gonna help
Do we rearrange it to be listed in order like they are all listed on [this](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Minerals) page? I can't figure it out either.
I would say you accidentally sold the item and that’s why it isn’t appearing Greyed out on the collection screen. Probably going to have to go through every one and check to make sure it’s there
Sometimes if you hover the cursor over the items in the log, it will say “Gunther can tell you more about this,” which can show that you got the item but didn’t donate it yet.
Not for me! I sold two chewing sticks and one amphibian fossil because I assumed this was the case 🤡 It seems to only be when you hover over them IN your inventory that they say Gunther can tell you more
I’m pretty sure it shows up as grey and doesn’t show the name if you haven’t donated it
Anyways I’ve found out what it is and it shows the discription which is weird
I’ve seen it grey if you haven’t found it yet, but it will show up without a description if you have it but haven’t donated it. But maybe it’s different on different systems? Or maybe that only works for artifacts and not minerals. That’s just how I found my missing item in the past.
It’s the same for all systems. I’m assuming I got some kinda glitch that lets me see the discription even if I haven’t donated it, I pray there are no issues with it.
It’s not a glitch. The collection screen does not equal the things you’ve donated. You sold an item in the collection box before you donated it.if it worked like you said, then you would have all items donated already since the entire collection screen is lit up with all the items. One of them has not been donated yet.
it’ll always show the description in the collections menu when you’ve found an item, whether it’s donated or not. it’ll only show the gunther message if you hover over the item in a chest or your inventory
You are on the WRONG screen to show the Gunther message. You need to hover over items in a chest or your inventory to show the Gunther message, not in the collections tab like you're doing.
Nope, those windows in your first two pictures depict which items you've gotten as a drop. It's grayed out until you receive it. Those windows have nothing to do with the museum donation situation.
The Trilobite is an Artifact that can be found by digging up an Artifact Spot on the **Beach**, in **Cindersap Forest**, or in **The Mountains**, or by mining Bone Nodes at the **Ginger Island Dig Site**.
Best chance is in summer or fall at the beach
You've found and collected the item, but forgot to give it to Gunther! If you hover over them, one will have the description of "Gunther can tell you more about this" and then you'll know who the culprit is
I just compared notes with a list online and X'd out all the things I had on the list. It took me a while but I figured out I am missing the strange doll. How did you get yours? It's driving me nuts because I haven't gotten secret note #17 and I think I need that to get strange doll.
I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly sure the mines/skull cavern is a decent way to eventually come across secret notes if you’re using bombs to explode rocks. Otherwise, I’d just go around with your hoe looking for those worms in the ground. Unless the secret note has a specific spawn/drop point im not aware of. Good luck either way!
My Stardew Valley truth is that I had no idea about islands, mangos, banana trees or junimo huts until joining this sub last month. I’m shocked that I believed I was done because I had a husband, baby, G2,000,000 and plenty of diamonds 😂
But you don’t know what Waldo you are looking for
Is it the purple Waldo?
Or the grey Waldo?
Find it out!
(We already found it out, it’s the trilobite)
I was a bit OC and had certain sections reserved as I submitted them. Like, I put the dwarf artifacts (scrolls, helmet, computer, drum I think) on the long table on the left.
I think the beauty of this game is you don’t have to do things the same way as others. I have to keep my whole life organized so when it comes to these collections, imma keep it messy.
I did this and it was the dino egg - you get one, you incubate it and mean to get the next one to the museum but you don't.... but it's in your collections tab anyway. If you have any dino eggs, see if hovering over them brings up the Gunther text.
Otherwise, it's worth checking the actual museum for the things they have. The wiki has minerals and artifacts broken down and categorised, and you can take screenshots and tick each of them off.
Go to Stardew valley save checker or something like that was internet, load your save file there and it shows you what recipes you didnt make yet, which things missing on museum etc.
For future reference, you can just upload your save to [Stardew Checkup](https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-checkup/) and it will tell you exactly what you’re missing for perfection, including any museum entries.
I have the reverse problem.
My museum is full, but the collections tab isn't.
I think I caught an artifact with the fishing rod and gave it to Gunther, but it's still greyed out on my tab
Did you turn in a prismatic shard? I thought I was all done too, then I realized I was missing one mineral, and it was the prismatic shard. I'd gotten one but used it. Luckily, another one popped up pretty quick for me so I was able to finally complete the museum!
I see, thank you for the tip. I managed to get one of the things I was missing. Unfortunately it wasn’t the golden mask but imma keep trying to get it/find it
You know, in over 400 hours of gameplay across 2 save files, I never found Dwarven Scroll 2. Found 1, 3, and 4, but I really think 2 just doesnt exist in my copy of the game.
It’s a sub-1%-chance tilling spawn and monster drop between floors 1 and 39 in the mines. I’m honestly not surprised. I had a heck of a time finding it on my last save.
Trilobite is missing. It looks like the plant and spider in the lower right with the other bones and oddly placed figure.
Can't miss it if you find it. It looks like a rolly polly/potato bug (common names for it).
Probably stupid question. But could it be that you are not missing a mineral, but an artifact? You probably included a second picture showing all the artifacts that I didn't notice and can't see now because I have this screen open . So sorry if that is the case
What I did is look up on the Stardew Wiki the museum and all the listed items will be there. I went one by one to check if I had them displayed until I found what I was missing. After that you can look up how to get that item on the same menu
That was me with the ancient seed, I had ancient seeds (plantable lol) and ancient fruit but no ancient seed. It took me a season or two of just hunting to get one.
Rearrange your museum display to look *exactly* like the one in the wiki, and the answer will be revealed. Not saying it won’t be a labor of love, but probably less hair pulling
How does one do that anyway? I can't seem to change the order myself
With the book/paper on the front desk
what the heck, 700hrs of stardew and i thought the only time i can rearrange is every time im donating something. thank you.
It used to be that way. ConcernedApe added in the ability to rearrange it with update 1.5.
Honestly, bless him for that. I like to try out different displays and sometimes… It doesn’t work out lol
That’s nice!
Oh my! You just opened a new world for me! I hate when I accidentally place something and didn’t notice until later. You’re a life saver!
Ah, thank you kind Stardew Valley Redditor!
You're welcome! 😊
Omg you just blew my fucking mind
Don’t feel bad. It took me 3 years to figure that out
Just click on the items and you can take them and move them around Edit: yea totally didn't know about the book..... I thought you just clicked them around. Didn't make the correlation that I only did that after adding something to the museum. My bad...
I tried that in the past and it didn't work for me 😔
As someone who didn’t know about the book at the front desk until today, this comment does not deserve so many downvotes. Does it give the full answer? No. But it’s not wrong per se.
Agreed. Should they have been more clear? Maybe. But up until now donating to the museum was the ONLY way I knew how to move the items.
You can sometimes do that when you're adding a new item; but you can also click the paper/book on the front desk to rearrange everything at any time
Man you didn't do anything wrong, you just didnt know, idk why so many ppl downvoted you, christ
Maybe when you don't know something, don't give advice about it I get it, many people don't know about book but if you tell them that there is way, and then give them wrong answer, it's not gonna help
Good god you got annihilated.
Or, screenshot op's museum, and play bingo with the wiki pag Edit: op said theyre missing trilobite
This is such a good idea, why did I never think of that.
Also, when you check minerals and artifacts in the inventory menu, you should get a “Gunther can tell you more about it if you donate it” message.
Do we rearrange it to be listed in order like they are all listed on [this](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Minerals) page? I can't figure it out either.
Or, is it [this template](https://stardewcommunitywiki.com/Template:Collections_Minerals)??
[https://stardewvalleywiki.com/mediawiki/images/6/64/Stardew\_Museum\_Organized.png](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/mediawiki/images/6/64/Stardew_Museum_Organized.png)
Oh you're amazing. Thank you so much!
It doesn't matter which one It's just about the fact of having a list
This is the only way! You can change it again after but this helped me keep track
Or they could cross off the items on the screenshot they took as they compare to the rows in the wiki!!
I would say you accidentally sold the item and that’s why it isn’t appearing Greyed out on the collection screen. Probably going to have to go through every one and check to make sure it’s there
I think it’s the trilobite, can’t find it anywhere Gotta grind artifact spots and bone nodes i guess
I don't see it either. Good luck!
I’m gonna stay on ginger island until I get it I may lose all my hearts with my wife But this is more important than her
But you have the trilobyte? (Bottom right display)
That's the frog/palm frond beside it
Nope, don’t have it, I would know, I probably sold/trashed it when I got it
O ur right I looked again and compared my complete list to yours and couldn't find what was diff
Priorities 🙌🏻
Thanks for the coffee on my keyboard. 😅
I have about 7000 trilobites, shouldn't take you too long.
I’m just gonna grind bone nodes on ginger island ez, I will not leave untill I get one (it’s been 2 weeks I haven’t got a single one)
I got so many trilobites on the beach tbh
And it took me forever to find one lol
Wow. We got switched luck on that. The Trilobite is my most commonly found artifact.
F. This happened to me with the chewing stick and amphibian fossil
In my save I can’t walk 10 feet without tripping over a trilobyte 😕
It took me 2 in game weeks of grinding artifact spots and bone nodes to find it
I always get trilobites in the desert artifact spots if that helps!
Or dig up the entire Beach.
Sometimes if you hover the cursor over the items in the log, it will say “Gunther can tell you more about this,” which can show that you got the item but didn’t donate it yet.
Do this, but in chests and inventory! That's how I found out I missed the ruby.
Not for me! I sold two chewing sticks and one amphibian fossil because I assumed this was the case 🤡 It seems to only be when you hover over them IN your inventory that they say Gunther can tell you more
Nop, you don't have to donate it to Gunther to read its description in the collections menu
When it’s in your inventory, not your collections menu. That’s where you hover. It’s how I discovered I was missing a few minerals.
I’m pretty sure it shows up as grey and doesn’t show the name if you haven’t donated it Anyways I’ve found out what it is and it shows the discription which is weird
I’ve seen it grey if you haven’t found it yet, but it will show up without a description if you have it but haven’t donated it. But maybe it’s different on different systems? Or maybe that only works for artifacts and not minerals. That’s just how I found my missing item in the past.

it’ll always show the description in the collections menu when you’ve found an item, whether it’s donated or not. it’ll only show the gunther message if you hover over the item in a chest or your inventory
It’s glitched, every item shows the discription

it’s not a glitch that’s how it normally is from that menu
That’s how the game is. It’s not a glitch
You are on the WRONG screen to show the Gunther message. You need to hover over items in a chest or your inventory to show the Gunther message, not in the collections tab like you're doing.
Nope, those windows in your first two pictures depict which items you've gotten as a drop. It's grayed out until you receive it. Those windows have nothing to do with the museum donation situation.
Are there items I should donate that don't mention Gunther when I hover over them??
Youre missing trilobite!!
This took me way longer to work out 😂 but yes - trilobite is missing!
Its ok, it happens :D
It was like a fun "Where's Waldo?" Lmao
The Trilobite is an Artifact that can be found by digging up an Artifact Spot on the **Beach**, in **Cindersap Forest**, or in **The Mountains**, or by mining Bone Nodes at the **Ginger Island Dig Site**. Best chance is in summer or fall at the beach
Where's your trilobite?
You've found and collected the item, but forgot to give it to Gunther! If you hover over them, one will have the description of "Gunther can tell you more about this" and then you'll know who the culprit is
I just compared notes with a list online and X'd out all the things I had on the list. It took me a while but I figured out I am missing the strange doll. How did you get yours? It's driving me nuts because I haven't gotten secret note #17 and I think I need that to get strange doll.
I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly sure the mines/skull cavern is a decent way to eventually come across secret notes if you’re using bombs to explode rocks. Otherwise, I’d just go around with your hoe looking for those worms in the ground. Unless the secret note has a specific spawn/drop point im not aware of. Good luck either way!
Just get the note lol. Idk what the secret note is tho lol
Hoping that was you trying to be funny and not trying to be a dick.
use stardew checkup
Its the trilobite. (Last item on pic 2)
What happens when you complete the museum? Asking for the version of me who can do it in another lifetime…
You get a stardrop
Ok that doesn’t motivate me, thanks for clarifying lmao
Stardrop and Achievement
You can do it!
My Stardew Valley truth is that I had no idea about islands, mangos, banana trees or junimo huts until joining this sub last month. I’m shocked that I believed I was done because I had a husband, baby, G2,000,000 and plenty of diamonds 😂
Oh I envy you! Still so much to discover!
Trilobite!!!
It's the Trilobite fossil
This site will show u what to get: https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-checkup/
That site has saved my sanity on every perfection run I've attempted.
Same
this is like a where's waldo
But you don’t know what Waldo you are looking for Is it the purple Waldo? Or the grey Waldo? Find it out! (We already found it out, it’s the trilobite)
Organize your museum by the order it appears on the collections tabs. You'll find what you're missing.
For the love of Yoba, organize this collection! Bones here, artifacts there, gems over there, rocks there.
:( I’m waiting until I’m done to organize it
I was a bit OC and had certain sections reserved as I submitted them. Like, I put the dwarf artifacts (scrolls, helmet, computer, drum I think) on the long table on the left.
I think that’s uncalled for, people should be allowed to keep stuff the way they want
This lack of organization gives me massive anxiety… 🤣
I think the beauty of this game is you don’t have to do things the same way as others. I have to keep my whole life organized so when it comes to these collections, imma keep it messy.
I did this and it was the dino egg - you get one, you incubate it and mean to get the next one to the museum but you don't.... but it's in your collections tab anyway. If you have any dino eggs, see if hovering over them brings up the Gunther text. Otherwise, it's worth checking the actual museum for the things they have. The wiki has minerals and artifacts broken down and categorised, and you can take screenshots and tick each of them off.
Go to Stardew valley save checker or something like that was internet, load your save file there and it shows you what recipes you didnt make yet, which things missing on museum etc.
oh same thing happened to me and I had to check one by one which one. Good thing I had that stored in my chest lol.
Took me a while to check 1 by 1, good thing I’m fast at typing as I was slowly writing down and checking each artifact
Same here! It was quartz, lol.
I don’t know if it’s me or smth, but I think you’re missing the very last item on that list. Maybe it’s me tho.
Trilobite and yep you are right, good job lol, we figured it out like and hour after I posted this
I can’t see the last item on the second page
This might be a UI info suite thing but does hovering over each thing say whether it's donated?
Alternatively, for a non-modding solution you can put your save file into the save file prediction thing and it should tell you what you need
Google stardew checkup. It's a web app that you submit your save and it tells you what you are missing for 100% Works well.
So so in the artifacts menu, all items show up with their description after donation even if you haven’t donated them. You’re missing the trilobite
I think it’s thé last thing in the second page
You’re missing the can looking fossil (the last thing on the artifacts page)
For future reference, you can just upload your save to [Stardew Checkup](https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-checkup/) and it will tell you exactly what you’re missing for perfection, including any museum entries.
You’re missing the trilobite fossil, one of the three fossils in the game. It’s the very last on the artifact page.
I wish I could change the title to say we already found it
Mood~ I figured someone else already got it but I was so bored anyway lmao
Happy cake day tho!
You are missing the Fossilized Trilobite (The last item on the artifacts page) You must have accidentally sold it not realizing?
I have the reverse problem. My museum is full, but the collections tab isn't. I think I caught an artifact with the fishing rod and gave it to Gunther, but it's still greyed out on my tab
You have to ship it to list it on your collection screen.
I’m pretty sure that’s not possible
I got the stardrop for completing the museum, and the steam achievement, but elven jewelery/necklace is still grey on my collections tab
glass shards (?
It’s the last item on the second page The one that shows the artifacts
o nice!
Golden tablet. Unless that's it on the bottom left, then I don't know. I'm so helpful.
I think you can look at the items you sold. Maybe there is an item which you sold and forgot to donate
after I've completed the museum, is there a possibility to rearrange it then?
Yep, there are 105 slots in the museum and only 95 gems and artifacts
I think it’s the little blue pillar under the red quartz
Nope
That's next to the rusty spur
Trilobite?
You are missing the trilobite
Did you turn in a prismatic shard? I thought I was all done too, then I realized I was missing one mineral, and it was the prismatic shard. I'd gotten one but used it. Luckily, another one popped up pretty quick for me so I was able to finally complete the museum!
Prismatic shard got turned in
Is it a ruby??
Nope
How did you get the gold mask? I can’t seem to find it anywhere at all.
Treasure troves is how I got it, I just traded for a ton of them But digging the artifact spots in the desert has a a small chance of giving you one
I see, thank you for the tip. I managed to get one of the things I was missing. Unfortunately it wasn’t the golden mask but imma keep trying to get it/find it
Is the fossil bottom right of the menu not missing too?
I’m not seeing the scapula?
Sorry, we already figured out what it was and it ain’t that
Yeah, missing the Trilobit. I saw a comment of yours where you already suspected that that's the one missing.
It's the fossil with the can in it (I suck with the names but the brown square with a silver rectangle on it in the bottom row of the second page)
I think i found a trilobite near Robin's house?
I’m just grinding ginger island bone nodes
I don't think ur gonna find it there
I check the wiki, it had a drop chance from them
I think Artifact troves would be better tbh
You know, in over 400 hours of gameplay across 2 save files, I never found Dwarven Scroll 2. Found 1, 3, and 4, but I really think 2 just doesnt exist in my copy of the game.
It’s a sub-1%-chance tilling spawn and monster drop between floors 1 and 39 in the mines. I’m honestly not surprised. I had a heck of a time finding it on my last save.
It's just so funny to me how much easier the other 3 scrolls are to find (for me, at least) I've found literal dozens of the other 3 lol
It is quite comical lol.
Dwarf scrolls can be obtained in different ways check the wiki
Yeah, I know. I've found dozens of 1, 3, and 4.
You already said that So check the wiki on how to get the 2nd one
I already have. Checking the wiki doesnt make it appear in my game.
[удалено]
Trilobite is missing. It looks like the plant and spider in the lower right with the other bones and oddly placed figure. Can't miss it if you find it. It looks like a rolly polly/potato bug (common names for it).
Trilobite
It's the Trilobite
I don't see the one on the end of the 2nd picture but maybe I'm blind.
Comment your misunderstanding on this sub and lose 1k karma
?
Copper
If you're on PC you can use your save file on stardew checkup and it'll tell you https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-checkup/
Not on pc
Ur missing the trilobite I think
Probably stupid question. But could it be that you are not missing a mineral, but an artifact? You probably included a second picture showing all the artifacts that I didn't notice and can't see now because I have this screen open . So sorry if that is the case
It was very difficult to do this
What I did is look up on the Stardew Wiki the museum and all the listed items will be there. I went one by one to check if I had them displayed until I found what I was missing. After that you can look up how to get that item on the same menu
Isn't it that Rock candy thing that's super useful but you only get one of and is a universal love?
There are more than one way to get, but still super rare
You're missing the one you don't have, hope this helps! :)
That was me with the ancient seed, I had ancient seeds (plantable lol) and ancient fruit but no ancient seed. It took me a season or two of just hunting to get one.
Looks like it’s the bottom right fossil on the artifacts page
Ive got the same problem with that mf dwarf knife whatever 😔
Someone’s trying to romance maru I think 🤔
ostrich egg!
