Build your own museum with Biomes! Fossils, display the remains of creatures long dead and other fossilized goodies! With this mod you can dig up and mine fossils and amber both big and small to put on display as art wherever your heart desires, and if a room has enough items from this mod, it will be considered a museum!

Museums are perfect for your pawns to enjoy as recreation. They'll wander around, looking at the displays and information stands, and gain recreation fulfillment as they do so. Child pawns can learn from a museum quite well (and fairly fast) if it's impressive enough, too.

This mod also adds a few fun things besides fossils as well, such as dioramas to put on display, and fun little dinosaur hats to sell to visitors if you have Hospitality: Storefront!

Honestly I suggest using the Museums mod in conjunction with this mod because it has a better and more in-depth museum system in place! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3204176859


  • Fossils and amber ore and resources
  • Fossils and amber pieces to put on display, in small, medium, and large sizes
  • Museum display cases, perfect for showing off that psychic lance you'll never use!
  • Infographic stands and museum lights
  • Gift shop style gear and plushies
  • A new type of learning for children

Special thanks:
Jecrell: Many thanks to him for the amazing Biomes! word logo design.
Elseud for the new Biomes! preview images.
Visandar for the new Fossil and Amber ore textures!
RangerRick for help with the discord.


Any mods that add new artifacts should be able to have the items placed in display cases!

Future compatibility with Hospitality is planned. That way guests can show up and pay for the chance to visit your museum!

It's not direct compatibility, but EGI: Holograms and Projectors has some cool dino-themed holograms that are perfect for a museum!

Q: Do I need Biomes! Core for this?
A: No, this mod only requires Harmony.

Q: Is it CE compatible?
A: Probably, as this mod has nothing to do with combat.

Q: Is it safe to add mid-game?
A: Yes, but the new ores will not generate on the map.

Q: Is it safe to remove mid-game?
A: No.

Q: Does this add any biomes?
A: No new biomes! It's fossils, amber and museums.

Q: I'm having issues after an update, what do I do?
A: Follow these steps! https://discord.com/channels/143756496851697666/407350614805446659/1106842059849093180

@chnbnystt There should be a button on display cases, 'Install displayable item'.

@chnbnystt Display cases :D

Probably a super simple question, but how do I put the small fossils/amber into the display?
greensniperhat Mar 14 @ 9:18am 
Well, when I get them working right, I'll make a pull request on the github.

@greensniperhat Possibly! But probably not easy enough to be worth it

Are there any plans to make the craftable fossils and amber sculptures to have a better, more fitting description? Like a piece of amber saying 'this cloudy piece of torso-sized amber contains a perfectly preserved lepidopteran' or something like that.
Currently trying to add such description in my personal copy but somehow got two qualities. Will report back once it's good enough.

@Agraza A room with any museum item should count, if that helps

can you tech restrict the learning need? i don't have a museum, but my kids are craving one and I can't build it.
