Description

To attract some museum experts to join my “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” museum tour, I had to turn my living room into a temporary streaming studio on a recent Friday afternoon. One of them has a copy of the game; the other does not. Therefore, I need to support the computer to capture as much TV as possible.

In the end, I found ACNH Bells, three board games (Tokaido, Betrayal of the House on the Mountain, and Gamma World) and a very large artwork about coffee beans. I would not say that this is an elegant solution, but it works to a certain extent. I sat on the side of Joy-Cons, practicing my best tour guide voice.

Two faculty members from the School of Natural Sciences at Drexel University will soon join me. Botanic curator Dr. Richard McCourt called from a home office, which was decorated with humble art and a messy wooden table. His colleague, library assistant Kelsey Manahan-Phelan tried to join me in the game, but due to connection problems, she had to solve it from the video conference in her apartment kitchen.

This setup is troublesome, but I hope that these trained scholars will perform the same review on Blathers, just as he collects fossils, fish, and insects every day. They are happy to fulfill their obligations. Dr. McCourt smiled the first time he saw Brathens’s bow tie.

Before they arrived, I had collected four fossils and planned to donate them to the museum. Manahan-Phelan said that following the operation of the early museums, ordinary people were more likely to be donors. She told me that collectors of 19th-century natural science specimens are usually doctors and pharmacists, and their involvement in curation is a hobby. After retiring or dying, these amateurs will donate their collection to the museum. The museum where she works is like that. She said: “We were founded in 1812. In fact, only a few people in the attic of a pharmacy store got together and said, ‘Hey, we should do this.”

My guests said that these days, non-scientists donate to the Natural History Museum less and less. Even if it is only for a slightly original purpose, the donation will still happen. McCourt said: “We conducted a fossil or specimen roadshow, people brought bugs or fossils, bones or any wild plants into here, we will try to identify them.” “But we are doing educational Things, we will try to emphasize this point. One thing we have to do is try to serve the public in this way. “When Blathers shares information on the samples brought by the players, he will play almost the same role. Museum faculty and staff regard education as an equal effort for research or protection.

He emphasized another reason modern museums discourage individual donations. “Sometimes, you may collect too much knowledge or kill animals to destroy nature.” They prefer clear photos attached to emails, such as the entire tiger skin or a box of bird carcasses. They will not appreciate the 200-pound blue marlin pulled from your island pier, but McCourt still appreciates Blathers’ dedication.

When I pulled out the wasp from my pocket, my guests were disgusted with Blathers. Even the meticulous collection of verified amateurs does not necessarily translate into scientific value. McCourt suggested that anyone with dragonflies and tarantulas should consider emotional value. Nintendo introduced CJ and Flick into the game. The beaver and chameleon partner does exactly this: trade your catch for detailed copies to decorate your house. The things in the museum are of emotional value. Many things are not available to us in the game. If you want to have the same thing in the museum, you can go to the IGGM store buy animal crossing bells to get your own emotional value things.At:https://www.iggm.com/animal-crossing-bells .
