This isn’t the first museum to do something like this, as The Getty Museum also released some of its pieces for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, albeit that collection was more than twice as small. With hundreds of thousands of choices, players have no excuse not to include some fine art in their Animal Crossing creations.

The pieces can be found on the Metropolitan Museum of Arts’ open access database, and with a click of a button, the website will convert the artwork into a QR code that players can scan and then use in their creations on their Animal Crossing islands.

Click or tap the image above to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts’ database and start perusing the hundreds of thousands of art choices available. After finding a particularly interesting piece of art, the connoisseur should select it, viewing its full page. From here, choose the share option and the Animal Crossing leaf logo should be there next to the other, standard social media options. Clicking on this logo will pull up a toolbar with a QR code as well as a preview of what the art will look like in-game. There is even a tool to select a specific part of the artwork.

It’s worth noting that only open source artwork with pictures will work in this process, but that still leaves plenty to pick from. Want a portrait of George Washington? It’s on there. How about a portrait of Archangel Gabriel? The options are nearly endless, so players should have some fun with it. Of course, since these are auto-generated from the images, they will be somewhat low resolution, especially when compared to the art the player can buy from Redd. That said, this is still pretty amazing, especially since real-life museums are making these collections available for players.

Players would do well to keep an eye out for other museums to follow suit, as more and more designs will no doubt start making their way online. Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers players a ton in terms of creativity, but the ability to share these creations is by far its greatest strength.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now exclusively on Switch.
