What if some of your paintings were haunted or your sculptures were actually aliens? This is the case with certain fake pieces of art in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Where did Redd find all of this?

Animal Crossing: New Horizons: are fake paintings and statues haunted?

Since the 1.2.0 update of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it's possible to expand the Museum to obtain the Art Gallery. So, by meeting Redd, you can buy him paintings and other sculptures to complete your Gallery. But beware: Redd is cunning and will not hesitate to sell you fakes! They can be sold at a very low price to Timmy and Tommy, but you can also keep them to decorate your island or observe ... supernatural phenomena!
