If you’ve been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons (and let’s face it, who hasn’t), chances are you’ve started building the collection of your very own museum. And while we’re loving the fossil digs and bug hunts, we found ourselves wishing for a place to display art. Inspired by the creativity of everyone who recreated Urban Light in their games, we thought we’d create a little something for you: LACMA artworks that you can download, hang up, and show off—no Nook loan required.



Even the LACMA staff can’t resist a virtual Urban Light selfie.

We used the Animal Crossing Pattern Tool to turn five of our artworks into scannable QR codes for you to use in your game. If nothing below quite strikes your fancy, you can browse thousands of images in our Collections Online website, upload them into the Pattern Tool yourself, and generate your own unique QR codes for the ultimate in cozy island customization.

Ohara Shōson, Bird on Weeping Cherry, c. 1900

Il'ya Chashnik, Suprematism, 1920

Dog with Orange Bib, Japan, Late Edo Period, mid-19th century

Antonio Cavallucci (possibly), Head of an Angel, late 18th century

Takahashi Hiroaki, Black Cat Hissing, second quarter of 20th century

And if you want to wear your LACMA love on your island-hopping adventures, we also created a LACMA logo t-shirt that we think even the Able sisters would envy!

At least one villager was pretty obsessed with the look.

Um, should we tell Apple that we definitely already have an online store?

Get creative and show us how you’re using these patterns! Share your best screenshots on social media and tag us @lacma, and we might just feature you on our page.
