How to donate to the museum in Paralives

One of the first “life goals” you will have Paralyzes is called 'Discover the City' and has five different objectives to complete in order to tick it off. While some are obvious, others, such as making a donation to a museum, less so. If you're trying to figure out how to donate to a museum in Paralyzesor what items you are allowed to donate, I have everything you need to know about the topic below. So without further ado, let's jump right into it.

There is another blue donation box inside the museum, but you have to go past the first one to get to it.

This will open the 'Donate Item' menu where you can select an item from your inventory storage on the left and choose to donate it to the museum. Once you do, the green progress bar on the right side of this screen will fill up a bit more, and rewards will unlock after reaching numbered milestones.

The catch is that you can't just donate any old object to a museum. I tried donating a random wall clock only to find it grayed out as you can see in the screenshots in this guide. Instead, you have to look specifically for gems, mushrooms, or artifacts.

Where to find gems, mushrooms and artifacts to donate to the museum

These are the only three types of items that can be donated to the museum, and each one is usually located somewhere in the city. I've usually found that gems can be found on the outskirts of town and in my experience they've been by cliffs or rock walls on the ground.

For mushrooms, I found a toadstool on a forest path near a field with cows, also on the outskirts of town. They usually seem to be more common in areas where there are lots of trees and other flora and fauna around.

Finally, buried artifacts can seemingly be found in all sorts of random areas away from the built-up city center. However, their placement seems a bit more random and is generally a bit more difficult to find, as a pile of dirt that indicates where something is buried underground is much harder to see than a mushroom or gem sitting on the ground.
