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.

Beautiful game that, unfortunately, outstays its welcome. No tension despite the possibility of "stealing" paintings from other players.

Very Pretty. Love the theme. A nice take on set collection, that makes you consider different aspects when making decisions. First game went slow / took long / felt procedural, but I guess that is because of getting used to the game.

Beautiful, well thought out and with a perfectly integrated strong theme, Museum: Pictura will delight players looking for a "serious" racing game while creating life at the table. A collection game that can leave you unmoved. But for me the best of its kind played this year! Find my full review (in french) here : https://depuncheur.fr/critiques-jeux/museum-pictura
