Animal Crossing: Wild World Paintings

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, players need to collect paintings (furniture items) to give to Blathers at the local branch of the Farway Museum. But did you know that all of the paintings you collect for the museum in Animal Crossing: Wild World are smaller, pixelated images of paintings that exist in the real world? This guide is for those of you who are merely curious about the finer details of the game, else are great appreciaters of Art History.
