Animal Crossing: New Leaf gives players the chance to collect many different things, as in previous Animal Crossing games. Amongst these things are bugs, fish, fossils, paintings and gyroids. Apart from gyroids, the rest of the collectibles can be displayed in the Museum by talking to Blathers and donating them.
