Creative Curators,
Don your berets and prepare to look pensively at things you don’t quite understand, as it’s about time Two Point Museum had a splash of culture, don’t you think? In preparation for Arty-Facts launching next week, you can now dip your toes in the paint bucket for FREE!
We know many of you will agree that it’s about time Two Point County had its own, world-class, art museum - and Two Point legend Zara Fitzpocket needs YOUR help to establish a cultural heart in Two Point County, on the site of an old industrial port.
As part of the base game, you can now curate classics and commission original art at the dilapidated Undee Docks, which is in desperate need of a fresh lick of paint.
*The free taster content for Arty-Facts is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. We will provide more details about the Nintendo Switch 2 taster as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
Have questions about our latest DLC, Two Point Museum: Arty-Facts? Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Check out our complete FAQ here.
So, what’s on the canvas?
Gather your best coveralls and beret, as you follow in Zara Fitzpocket’s footsteps to establish an arty cultural hub, ahead of the DLC release. The Arty-Facts free taster content includes:
A new location in the run-down industrial Undee Docks, where you’ll establish your art museum, and explore the campaign up to the first star.
Discover the first three Points of Interest of the new expedition map, Zara’s Sketchbook.
Build the new Studio Room to commission original Painting Exhibits.
All other Stars in the campaign and Points of Interest, along with their associated objectives and items, will require the complete Arty-Facts DLC, which opens 7th May.
A new Arty-Fact Expert can be hired in any museum via a job advert, after gaining one star in Memento Mile and while playing the first star of the Arty-Facts campaign.
Unlocking the new POIs in Zara’s Sketchbook provides:
Five Famous Works exhibits
One new Interactive Display
New Floor & Wallpaper Options
New Art-themed decoration
Alongside the free taster, update 9.0 comes with our usual bug fixes and some quality-of-life improvements!
…and much more!
If you like what you curate, please wishlist Arty-Facts! It makes a huge difference, press the button right now:
A (literal) port full of new content awaits, so let’s delve into our highlights! If you want to skip to the full changelist, it’s below.
Arty-Facts Taster
As our new resident Art Expert, you won’t just be in charge of standing around looking pensive (although that is 70% of the role), you’ll also be responsible for establishing a brand new Art Studio in the museum, creating new works to evoke a broad range of emotions in guests to the museum gallery… a gallery-um as it were!
Creative curators can now play up to the first star of Undee Docks, for free! Discover Famous Works as you follow in Zara Fitzpocket’s footsteps, exploring the first three POIs of her new sketchbook expedition map. And get commissioning your experts in the new Studio Room; with the taster, you’ll have access to Paintings, one of four original art types you’ll be able to commission once the full DLC launches. There are around 250 million possible Paintings to discover (trust us, we’re good at math).
The full Arty-Facts DLC release May 7th for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Details about the Nintendo Switch 2 release will follow as soon as possible.
To explore the Arty-Facts campaign and commission art in Undee Docks, you’ll need to have completed Memento Mile Act 1, our lovely city location. Or if you can’t wait, you can jump into the paint bucket from the get-go, in sandbox mode.
New Charity Creator Posters
Curators can now find five new unique posters in-game, celebrating charity heroes who raised funds for the RSPCA during our Zooseum campaign. Splash a bit of colour in your museum halls, with each poster lovingly crafted to represent a Two Point Creator who went above and beyond fundraising for an amazing cause.
A massive shout-out to elliejoypanic, MissVadams, PowerPlays, veepaivt and Rohara for their fantastic efforts during the #CurateForEveryKind campaign - you’re all cemented as Two Point legends!
The eagle-eyed among you may also spot some new names in the Two Point pool. To honour the fantastic efforts of fundraisers during the campaign, creators have added themselves to the possible in-game names, so you may just be able to hire one of them in your museum! (Treat them nicely, please?).
Mouse & Keyboard Support for Consoles
We’re excited to deliver mouse & keyboard support to our console curators. We know it’s long requested, and many of you will enjoy the extra level of control it gives you when creating your museums.
Xbox and PlayStation players can now use these peripherals by plugging in a mouse and keyboard into their consoles. More details about JoyCon Mouse support for Nintendo Switch 2 will follow!

Happy curating, Pointians!
(P.S. One of the best things you can do to help support the studio is to leave a Steam Review! If you’ve tried your hand at curating, we’d love to hear your feedback. Thank you!)
