I recently found a mod called the Aquarium, which works similarly as the vanilla museum, where you can donate fish to be displayed in aquariums, with each of them having some extra info when you interact with the fish. Each room in the aquarium is designed and decorated like the location where such fish can be found, as well as support for other mods that include more fish.
This made me realize that there is an entire missed opportunity to create a mod for flowers, foraged items and crops, which you can donate to some npc and they would display it in a big, beautiful garden that you could walk around and interact with every single flower/plant/crop that you donated. This gives a huge completionism aspect to the game, making people want to grow every single crop so they can donate it to this modded "museum" (I use botanic garden but maybe theres a better name for that building), instead of only buying/growing money-making crops.
I would be so excited to see someone work on such a mod.
