How does buying Art Pieces work?

Jolly Redd sells the artwork in the game. He will randomly show up on your island in his Treasure Trawler Ship. He carries a maximum of 4 art pieces with him and sometimes he has no art pieces. You can purchase only one piece a day from him for 4,980 Bells. But be careful as he also sells forgery artworks too. You can use these artworks to decorate your island or you can donate them to the museum. Donating these artworks to the museum will help you upgrade this building.
