ACNH - Inside Redd
The Treasure Trawler is a suspicious looking store in a ship owned by our favorite(?) cousin Redd! This is where he sells eye-catching but sketchy quality artworks like paintings, statues, and furniture.

Buy Art

ACNH - Redd tells the resident that they can only buy one artwork per day

Redd will sell you once piece of art a day, but take care as some of his pieces may not be authentic!

How to Spot Fake Art

Donate Real Art to the Museum

ACNH - Blathers informs the resident that information about the donation will be available to read

Once you confirm your art is real, you can donate it to Blathers at the Museum and it will get placed into the new Art Gallery.
