To coincide with the start of the new Nature Day event, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is introducing a new wing of the museum to the game.
Joining its fossils, insects and fish there will be a new section that will house any art found in the game. You may be wondering what exactly that means, especially when you consider that there has been no art in New Horizons yet.
However, that will no longer be a concern because now you can talk to Redd and buy him art. If it seems a little suspicious, it is because it is. This character is most likely involved with a bad group of people and is looking to make money fast.
There’s even a good chance that the art you decide to buy will be stolen, making it another dangerous effort to make bells, similar to playing at the Stalk Market.
Since the Nintendo Switch has a much higher resolution than the previous 3DS, it’s a bit easier to spot what’s fake and what’s not, but chances are we’ll see Nintendo take that into account and drop some keys.
However, all of this is pointless if you don’t have a place to put your paintings. Here’s how to unlock the art wing at the museum.

When you load Animal Crossing for the first time after this update, Isabelle will greet you by reading the island’s daily news, but won’t mention the museum expansion.
Instead, you’ll have to go to Blathers himself to get the details. He will say that you can now donate art to him, but that still doesn’t help you find any.
Advance a day and you will begin to see Redd hanging around your island. Buy a piece of art from him and take it to Blathers, who will announce that the museum is expanding.

Now go forward again to complete construction and you will have a sleek new art wing in your museum. All you will have to make sure to do now is not fill it with a bunch of fake paints!
