Hey so I completed my museum in #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">.

I think I might miss museums more than I miss live music. And I miss live music A LOT.

Specifically I miss spending time in museums with friends. Which is what you get to do in the game! (Here be a thread).

The different villager personality types have different reactions to different pieces of art, which already rules. But even better, they& #39;re often these wonderfully immediate, very personal reactions with absolutely no pretense, no sense of what John Berger called "mystification."

It& #39;s played for laughs, and it is indeed often pretty dern funny. But it& #39;s also a lovely little simulation of going to a museum with someone who doesn& #39;t know all that much about art but is nonetheless INTO I. As a big old gallery art nerd, I value those experiences so much.

Wandering around and hearing these earthy little takes is one of the most peaceful experience I& #39;ve ever had in a game, and one of the best little jolts of joy/longing I& #39;ve found in lockdown.

Seriously, it& #39;s great.

/Thread, for now anyway.
