Random: Animal Crossing Fan Completes His Mission Of Visiting All New Horizons Artwork IRL

First!
EDIT: Wow that was a lot of typos on my end!
I remember when he hit halfway! Congrats to him for pulling this off! Although I have always wondered… who comes if he scans his amiibo card…?

Incredible. Man, I would love to do that. I'm a huge fan of the New Horizons museum.

Truth be told, everyone should go and see these works of art if they can. They really display the best of human creativity from our history.

Who has the money to travel that much in such a reduced period of time just for likes... I don't see the point

@inenai he might just be a hard-working guy with some extra money on the side, who was able to use that cash to achieve a dream! He spent too much time, money and effort to just do this for attention.

@inenai It's not your money, and he's not trying to sell you anything, so what do you care?
Travel is a good thing. Seeing art is a good thing. No need to begrudge people who have the means to do both.

Good work. I wonder how his fish and bug catching skills are

@inenai Dude's in the UK, the overwhelming majority of the museums these pieces are displayed at are either in Europe or the eastern US, both pretty easily reached on reasonably affordable flights from London, and since he doesn't seem to have actually gone to Mexico, China, or Hawaii I think the only really long flight he'd have to take would be a trip to Japan. It honestly seems surprisingly doable when you look into it, again so long as you're based in Europe or the US.

But has anyone painted and sculpted the fake art pieces yet?

I’ve seen about half of Blather’s collection, and another 1/3 would be relatively easy, but some of the collection would be more difficult. Vitruvian Man is rarely shown to the public because of its fragility, and Beauty Looking Back is also not regularly shown. He must have lucked out with the timing on both of those. The terra-cotta soldier, Olmec colossal head, and the King Kamehameha statue are also located in more out-of-the way places. So kudos to him, while most of the art is located in Western Europe, Japan, and North America, some are more difficult to see.

@tektite_captain I checked out his Tiktok page, it seems like he saw some terra cotta soldiers in a museum in the UK, an Olmec head at a museum in France, and the Kamehameha statue was the one in Washington DC instead of the one in Honolulu. It seems like the only place outside of Europe and the contiguous US he actually went to is Japan. Still a cool accomplishment and good on him for using his video game fandom as an excuse to see some art.
