In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players can experience anything that can do in real life in the open-world simulation game. They can be whatever they wanted to be, decorate their own homes, travel to any place to meet their friends, and even collect artworks to create their own museum.

And speaking of artworks, the game's resident collector and shady salesman, Redd, would come out in his boat and offer said artworks, whether if it is painting or sculptures, to players that wants to open their own exhibit.

However, there is one problem, according to Republic World - they do not know if the said artwork is a fake one or real. If the players bought the fake one, according to Polygon, it cannot be donated to the Museums or sold in Nook's Crannies because it is worthless.
