A Player admiring the Calm Painting in the City Folk museum

Paintings appear in all games. They play a small part in the game, with players having the possibility of donating them to the museum or placing them in their homes.

Paintings can be bought at one of two locations; either at Tom Nook's store or from Crazy Redd's. They only appear infrequently in Nook's - they are a Spotlight item - but are guaranteed to be authentic. Paintings are stocked more frequently at Crazy Redd's; there is always one painting in his original stock of three items. That said, it can be considered risky buying a painting there, as they are at least double in price (costing 3,920 Bells) and may be counterfeit. Villagers frequently speak of Redd's illicit dealings, some having even bought a painting and having it identified as a fake later, much to their dismay. If a villager mentions having bought a fake painting, it means that the painting currently in stock at Crazy Redd's is a fake.

After being bought, paintings may be taken to the museum and donated by speaking to the curator, Blathers. All paintings will be accepted unless they are already on display, or are forged. Accepted paintings are added to the gallery in the museum with a corresponding title and name of the Player who donated it. Forged paintings are not displayed, in keeping with the museum's wish for high quality exhibits, and are handed back to the Player. Paintings may also be placed in Player's homes, upon which they are placed on an easel.

Forged Paintings can be sold for 10 bells. In Wild World, Players may exchange a forged painting for 100 bells upon signing up for a certain kind of insurance.

Paintings in Animal Crossing are copies of renowned paintings in the real world, such as Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, or Klimt's The Kiss. They do not share the same name, however, and so are given an adjective to describe them, followed by the word 'painting'. Such examples are the 'Worthy Painting', 'Flowery Painting', and the 'Common Painting'.

There are more paintings available in City Folk, although some that appeared in Wild World have been omitted.
