For A Mysterious Gallery players, this is a guide of all the information you need to complete your personal gallery. Let’s check it out.
Introduction
This guide aims at holding your hand on your way through the Mysterious Gallery while only providing guidance where you feel it approriate. Most of the information is spoiler-hidden so it is up to you how much help you want to get.
Please note that this guide does not feature screenshots and, as such, does not give away the location of objects in paintings. I may, however, add a video walkthrough in the future. For the time being, the guide merely catalogs information in the following two basic sections:
- Four tables with the following information:
- Which paintings miss which part and where to find that part.
- Which paintings have which extra part and where to put that part.
- Solutions for paintings with a code and in which painting(s) to find that code.
- Which paintings hide which messages and in which paintings to use these messages.
- The following details for every painting of the gallery:
- Title (hyper-linked to online galleries)
- Artist
- Year (if available)
- Does this painting miss part(s)?
- Does this painting hide part(s)?
- Does this painting hide a message?
- What painting(s) correspond to this painting?
If you are looking for the most help you can get you should be able to find that in the first section. If you’re simply looking for a nudge in the right direction the second section is your friend.
Please also note that I will be expanding the guide over the coming days with explanations on how to unlock some of the paintings that do not fall in the category of finding and placing parts. So if you do not find what you’re looking for, check back in a couple of days. Finally, feel free to comment below.

Hints and Tips for Various Paintings
Most of the paintings can be unlocked easily with the above information. Yet there are a couple of them that do not require “simply” finding a missing part and adding it.
Painting #7 contains elements of painting #202. Arrange these elements so that they are located as they are in #202. Even though pressing the bottom button helps by indicating with a yellow color that an element is close to its target position, getting the correct placement is still quite tedious. Here are two spooiler-hidden screenshots, the first one indicating which elements you have to find in #202, the second one showing the correct position of all elements in #7:
I venture to say that this combination of paintings is not unlockable without external help.#054 shows the original painting on a rotor, #055 has ten differences, some of which are really hard to spot … even if you compare it directly with the original painting as can be found with the above link. So here’s a spoiler-hidden screenshot with all ten differences marked:
Given that these paintings are not mentioned above, I wanted to feature them here. #163 is “explains” which colors must be assigned to the parasols in #062. The rainbow colors are:
- red
- orange
- yellow
- green
- blue
- indigo
- violet
in that order. Thus the parasols in #062 need the following color combination from left to right:
yellow, blue, green, red.
Painting #082 may look a little overwhelming but all the clues are right there:
