Museum: Pictura is a standalone game for 2-4 players by Olivier Melison and Eric Dubus, in which you take on the role of an aspiring curator at an art museum.
Set in the 1920s, the game is beautifully illustrated in Art Deco style by French artist Loïc Muzy, brought to life by illustrator Ekaterina Varlamov.
Your goal is to create collections of some of history's most iconic works of art. To do this, acquire painting cards and exhibit them in your museum to eventually create collections. A collection can be based on the period of the painting (ranging from the Renaissance to Impressionism), or the domain (historical, landscape, mythological...). The collections you create earn you prestige points and the player with the most prestige at the end of the game wins.
While playing you will have to deal with the changing trends in the art world. Exhibiting paintings of those that are currently in fashion will earn you extra points!
As your collections grow, you can briefly open them to the public with a temporary exhibition, which will immediately allow you to score that collection's value and get special bonuses for the rest of the game. But be careful, your visitors will quickly tire of the same types of collections, so it's essential to time your exhibitions wisely.
