Players have the ability to personalize their avatar's lifestyle in the game, including the option to display replicas of actual artworks in their virtual residences.

A dedicated gamer has accomplished an impressive feat in Animal Crossing: New Horizons by visiting every real-life version of in-game art. This achievement is highly regarded among players of the game.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players have the ability to customize various aspects of their avatar's life, including the appearance of their home. This customization extends to the artwork that can be hung on the walls of the player's house. These artworks are not just original pieces created for the game, but also replicas of real-world art pieces, procured by the infamous fox character, Redd. Operating his traveling shop known as the "Treasure Trawler," Redd offers these real-world artworks to players in exchange for a certain amount of in-game currency, all while sporting a mischievous grin.

Mayurennaidoo, a Reddit user, has taken a unique approach to the real-world art in the game. Unlike most players who simply enjoy it as an additional feature, he took on the challenge of visiting every single art piece from the game in real life. It took him a dedicated 16 months to accomplish this task, which involved visiting 29 different museums across 10 countries. As a result, Mayurennaidoo has personally seen all 43 pieces of artwork from the game.

In his Reddit post, Mayurennaidoo shared a slideshow that included various photos from his travels. Among them was an image of a crocheted doll resembling Blathers, the museum curator in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This doll serves as a charming nod to the game, as Redd, a character known for selling fake art in the game, requires players to consult Blathers to determine the authenticity of their new acquisitions. Unlike other players, Mayurennaidoo doesn't have to worry about the authenticity of the art he encountered, but the inclusion of the doll adds a delightful touch to his journey.

Looking to find genuine paintings in Animal Crossing: New Horizons without the hassle of verifying each piece through real-world research? Unfortunately, distinguishing between authentic and fake artwork isn't always straightforward. While some paintings, like the Mona Lisa (referred to as the "Famous Painting" in-game), have noticeable discrepancies in the face, such as slightly misplaced eyebrows, players will need to compare other in-game art to real-life equivalents using books or online images.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is currently playable on the Nintendo Switch.
