How do you sell artifacts to museum?

The lady in the artifact museum tells me that they will buy artifacts,
but there's no mention of how I sell stuff to them.
There's no "sell" option when talking to her.
What am I doing wrong?

She is only interested in certain artifacts. If you have an item the
museum is interested in the item name will show up in the talk menu,
click this and she will be ready for business. There also is a book in
the museum that has a list of artifacts. I believe it's located on a
bench towards the back of the first floor. Though I'm not certain they
will buy all othe items listed in there either as I've had one or two of
them that she didn't seem to acknowledge.

You are correct about the book and the name of the artifact showing up
in the menu of talk topics. There are also some artifacts she will buy
that are not in the book.

There is a quest that requires you donate two artifacts to her -- so
if you've already sold everything, you are out of luck. Also note that
the creeper scamp in Caldora gives better prices than the museum does.

Unless you are using a mod Creeper's cash limit is 5000. The museum pays
50% of the full value of anything that you sell them. There is a cap on
how much the museum does pay. Regardless of the actual value, the museum
won't pay more than 30,000.

I do use the mod that ups Creeper's cash -- but even without that
there are ways to get him to pay full price. You can take it out in
trade. I.e. say you have an artifact worth 50,000. You offer it for
barter, and at the same time you take items worth 45,000 from him. Put
them down, and come back the next day and sell them back one at a time.
Or go to Mudcreeper who does have 10,000 per day and also pays full
price. Or go to some of the merchants in Mournhold who also have 10,000
or so (but don't pay full price).

Since there are so many ways around the 5000 per day, it seems
justified and a lot less boring to just use the mod that gives him
500,000 per day and let it go at that.
