Moonlight Peaks Museum in the Making: 4 Artifacts Guide

Quick Answer:

Quest Overview: The "Museum in the Making" storyline quest unlocks in Fall Year 1 after Jada Henderson moves to town and sends you the "Fan Mail" letter. Jada tasks you with collecting ancient heritage artifacts from the four founding supernatural families before the town Museum can open.
How to Obtain the 4 Family Artifacts:
1. Vampire Relic (Orlock): Deliver 1 Red Wine (any quality fermented in a Keg).
2. Witch Relic (Fiona): Deliver 1 Nightshade (grown in an Herb Garden + watered with Aquaflux).
3. Mermaid Relic (Dragan): Win a game of Nokturna against Dragan at the town docks to receive the Crystal Orb.
4. Werewolf Relic (Saga): Speak with Brook in Howling Marshes, then deliver 3 Wolfsbane to Saga.
Critical Storage Fix: If Jada will not accept the artifacts or the quest tracker stalls, check your farmhouse Universal Storage chest. The "Deposit All" button frequently moves quest items from your bag into storage!

Complete the early storyline missions A New Beginning and The Need for Herbs.
Reach Fall 1 of Year 1. The Henderson family arrives in town.
Open your farm mailbox to read the letter titled "Fan Mail" from Jada Henderson.
Walk into Town Plaza to trigger a cutscene with Jada proposing the town Museum.

Orlock's Wine: Put 1 Blood Grape into any Keg at your farm. Once 3 nights pass, collect the Red Wine and gift it to Count Orlock at his manor.
Fiona's Nightshade: Build an Herb Garden box at your Workbench (requires Wood Planks). Sow Nightshade seeds bought from Luna and water them daily with the Aquaflux spell. Hand 1 ripe Nightshade to Fiona.
Dragan's Nokturna Duel: Find Dragan standing near the fishing pier at the docks. Interact and select the "Play Nokturna" option. Defeat his deck to claim the Crystal Orb.
Saga's Wolfsbane: Walk north into Howling Marshes to speak with Brook at Logan House. He directs you to Saga. Grow and harvest 3 Wolfsbane in your Herb Garden and deliver them to Saga to receive the final totem.

Return to Town Hall with all 4 artifacts in your personal bag.
Speak with Jada to hand over the collection.
Sleep in your coffin to advance to the next night: the follow-up quest "Curating the Museum" will automatically trigger, opening the Museum doors for donations!

A common issue reported by players is completing all four NPC tasks but finding that Jada still says you are missing items:

Check Your Farmhouse Chest: The universal chest system categorizes artifacts under "Misc/Furniture". If you clicked "Deposit All Stacks" after returning home, your relics were moved into storage.
Switch to the "View All" Tab: Open your storage chest, click the eye icon ("View All"), locate the 4 quest relics, and drag them back into your main inventory row.
Carry the Exact Quest Item: Ensure you are carrying the named quest relic given by the NPC, not a standard crafted mineral or regular crystal ball.
Advance the Night: If Jada finishes her dialogue but the Museum remains closed, sleep until 6:00 PM the next evening for the grand opening ceremony.
