The Museum

This isn't exactly a quest but a chance to test your collecting skills. If you head into the Godsreach Museum of Artifacts you will notice there collection of Artifacts isn't many, infact its only 1 which is the Hammer of Stendaar. Of course your first impression might be "oooo Legendary Hammer, Yoink!" but there is an even better thing you can do. If you spoke to the curator you will have found out you can sell artifacts to the Museum for 30000 gold each. There is 34 artifacts you can collect which makes the total more then 1 million Gold Pieces. Look at the book lying on the bench to find the list of Artifacts to collect. This is probably one of the Hardest quests you will ever come across in the Elder Scrolls.
