Museum: Pictura

Players act as aspiring curators in a 1920s art museum, collecting and exhibiting paintings to build themed collections. Cards represent individual artworks with Periods (Renaissance to Impressionism) and Domains (Historical, Landscape, Mythological, etc.). Players acquire Painting cards, place them on a museum board to form Collections, and score Prestige points for completed sets. A shifting demand track makes certain types fashionable each round, granting bonus points for exhibiting in-style works. Players can open a Collection as a Temporary Exhibition to immediately score it and gain ongoing bonuses, but repeated use of the same themes becomes less lucrative over time. The game supports 2–4 players and emphasizes set collection, timing, and adapting to changing trends.
