Who is Museum Classics?
We're a high-quality Art and Framing Gallery established in 1979 to bring the very finest art to discerning collectors at affordable prices. For the cost of a limited edition print, you can now own an original oil painting on canvas, with all the richly textured depth and intensity of color and light that only genuine oil paints on canvas offer.

Our Museum Classic Original Oils in exquisite frames have attracted an international clientele including Art and Antique Dealers, other Galleries, Interior Design firms and Corporate as well as Private Collectors worldwide. This site is part of our mission to make available the works of the masters to a wider audience unhampered by geography.

Exactly what is a Museum Classic Original Oil?
Museum Classic Original Oils are hand-painted re-creations of the works of the masters. They are not mechanical reproductions such as prints, lithographs or giclees. In a time-honored tradition, our own Master Artists paint Museum Classic Original Oils completely by hand. They begin with a blank canvas and use the same genuine oil paints as the masters used when they originally created their beautiful paintings, and with the same timeless quality.

Can I literally get ANY oil painting I want?
Yes. We have a wide selection of paintings in stock, or you can custom-order any image in any size you want, always with the security of our money-back guarantee. For custom orders, our Master Artists will work from any color copy with which you supply us to create a beautiful hand-painted canvas that you will treasure for years to come.


 

Are all the paintings you offer exact copies of major works?
No, in addition to these our International Master Artists often create other original artworks in the style and quality of major artists from their own inspiration. At other times we receive Classic paintings with no source authentication. Our paintings are categorized according to the artist or school of painting they most resemble.

Do you have an actual gallery location I can visit?
Yes, we have TWO retail locations in California, and invite you to stop in to view our fine selection of artwork and frames:

Peter's Gallery/Museum Classics

Costa Mesa, CA
949-548-4511


Peter's Gallery/Museum Classics
22421 Antonio Parkway
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
949-858-9388

Is there a guarantee if I am not happy with my Museum Classic Original Oil?
Yes. If for ANY reason you are not pleased with your painting, simply return it within 7 days in its original condition and packing materials. We will refund the full amount of your purchase price, less shipping and handling. You are responsible for return shipping costs.


 

How long will it take before my painting arrives?
Paintings ordered from our current inventory will be shipped immediately upon confirmation of payment.

Custom-ordered paintings generally arrive within 12 weeks. The artist must carefully create your painting by hand and the paints must be allowed to dry before it can be shipped. The drying process can take up to several weeks. You will rest assured, however, because we will confirm your order and remain in contact with you regarding the status and delivery time of your painting.

What are my framing options?
The importance of a high-quality frame that is in harmony with your artwork cannot be underestimated. A frame should highlight the beauty of the art as well as enhancing the decor of the room in which the art will be displayed. Our website allows you to view artworks "virtually framed" in a variety of different styles.

We offer a classic assortment of museum-standard frames recognized for their beauty and versatility as well as custom framing. Our extensive line of museum-standard frames include Louis XIII, Louis XV, Baroque, Spanish, Dutch, English, Asian and American, from antique replicas to contemporary. Experienced craftsmen finish many styles of our frames with genuine 22K gold leaf in the traditional process employed by the guilds of the 16th century.

How will my order be shipped? Do you ship anywhere?
Your Museum Classic Original Oil will be shipped via UPS or a trucking company experienced in handling Fine Art. We deliver anywhere in the United States and abroad. Shipping and handling costs are not included in the cost of the painting.


 

Is there a concern about copyright infringement?
Copyrights have specific regulations and timelines. Generally a work of art becomes public domain within 50-70 years after the death of the artist, depending on the country. Artworks by more recent artists must include a minimum of 7 changes to the image. We do not wish to infringe on any copyrights, and do everything possible to avoid it. If you are aware of any inadvertent error on our part, we ask that you contact us immediately.
