In real life, it might be difficult to see the fresco of the Sistine Chapel up close, but in Art Inc, “The Creation of Adam” and more great works of art are yours to observe and own. You just have to bid for them first in exclusive auctions. The more valuable your collection, the more people will visit your gallery and the more upgrades you can purchase.

What we love: The cartoonified masterpieces. Even the Mona Lisa is cute without losing her aura of mystery. Your staff room is also a hall of fame, as you can hire figures such as Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Athena the goddess of wisdom and the Wolf of Wall Street.

Quick tip: Make sure you have enough cash before entering an auction, so the treasures you see won’t slip away from you. Also, make use of your employees’ different skills: some can protect valuable artwork while others can increase income.
