Museum Layout Ideas (Color-Coded, Rainbow, Type-Based)

There’s no single “best” Stardew Valley museum layout—Gunther lets you rearrange freely. Pick a goal: faster scanning, cleaner aesthetics, or simpler completion tracking.

  • Color-coded: group by dominant color to spot missing donations quickly.
  • Rainbow: sort by hue to form a left-to-right gradient (great for a clean look).
  • By type: split artifacts and minerals into separate zones for easy maintenance.
