Museum: Pictura is a standalone set collection game for 2-4 players by Olivier Melison and Eric Dubus, in which you take on the role of an aspiring curator in an art museum.
Set in the roaring 20’s, the game is gorgeously illustrated in art deco style by French artist Loïc Muzy, while the 180 paintings featured in the game have been individually brought to life by Ekaterina Varlamov.
Your goal is to create collections of some of History’s most iconic works of art. To do so, you will be acquiring Painting cards and exhibiting them into your Museum, represented by your player board, to create Collections. These Collection can be based either on the painting’s Period (ranging from the Renaissance period all the way to Impressionism), or its Domain (Historical, Landscape, Mythological…). The Collections you create will earn you Prestige points, and the player with the most Prestige at the end of the game wins.
During play, you will have to deal with the changing trends of the art world, acquiring and exhibiting Paintings depending on what is currently in highest demand. Exhibiting Paintings of the types that are currently in fashion will gain you additional points!
As your Collections grow, you will be able to open them briefly to the public with a Temporary Exhibition, which allows you to immediately score that Collection’s value and obtain special bonuses for the rest of the game. But beware, your visitors will quickly grow tired of seeing the same types of Collection again and again, so timing your exhibitions correctly is essential!
Museum: Pictura brings exciting new mechanisms and strategies to the table, while maintaining a strong family connection to its predecessor.

Il tuo obiettivo è creare collezioni di alcune delle opere d'arte più iconiche della storia. Per fare ciò, acquisirai carte Pittura e le esporrai nel tuo Museo, rappresentato dalla tua plancia giocatore, per creare Collezioni. Queste collezioni possono essere basate sia sul periodo del dipinto (che va dal periodo rinascimentale fino all'impressionismo), sia sul suo ambito (storico, paesaggistico, mitologico…). Le collezioni che crei ti faranno guadagnare punti prestigio e vincerà il giocatore con il maggior prestigio alla fine del gioco.

I really enjoyed Museum, although I think it had a few fiddly rules that kept it from actually being played as much as it should be. When I saw that they were coming out with a 2nd edition I printed the rules out and we played my 1st edition with the 2nd edition rules and I thought it worked better. As the 2nd edition isn’t out yet, I decided to give Pictura a go and traded away my copy of Museum. Pictura definitely works better than 1st edition museum as many of the improvements to the 2nd edition are also implemented here. That said, I would not call Pictura a completely streamlined game as there is still quite a bit of upkeep as you play it. I can see us playing this a ton more as once you get in the swing of things everything makes sense and the puzzle in Pictura is more compelling. I am excited to play it again and try a different strategy. More temporary exhibitions and I would probably worry less about losing points when taking cards. I like the acquisition phase better, but you have to help each other with the upkeep. It played well at 2 players, but i image there will be more cards coming and going from the international museums with higher player counts. I think the game still looks great, but the art was done by a different person so it feels different to a degree, but not bad at all, component wise I think it still is solid. Hopefully it makes it to the table more than Museum did. April 2022 $43 cardhaus
