FULL STORY ======================================================================

A new partnership between Samsung and the Muse du Louvre in Paris will bring even more famous artwork to Samsungs The Frame TVs .

The deal will see some 42 famous works from the halls of The Louvre on Samsungs Art Store with more content to be added from the art gallery later this year.

Among the notable pieces coming from the famous Parisian art museum are the Mona Lisa and The Wedding Feast at Cana, as well as photos of the Louvre galleries, its architecture and museum grounds.

The virtual exhibition will join1,500 other famous pieces from 42 different countries and some of the worlds most famous museums like the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Albertina Museum in Vienna, the Tate Modern in London and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam Analysis: Just be prepared to pay the price of admission if you want to see them all

For interior decorators and designers, Samsungs The Frame is a TV that doesnt stand out amongst the crowd - in fact, its intentionally designed to blend into modern living rooms. One of the ways it does that is through its Ambient Mode that will display famous artwork, like the ones we just mentioned from The Louvre.

Ambient Mode turns on whenever you're not actively watching the TV - and it's significantly more attractive than a generic screensaver.

That being said, while Samsung does give you a limited amount of downloads when you purchase a new TV, youll have to fork over $5 a month for unlimited downloads. (It's 3.99 per month in the UK and AU$5 in Australia with 12-month contract.)

While the Art Stores $5-per-month subscription fee isnt as nice as a free service, its probably not too much to ask from folks who want to turn their living room into a revolving exhibition of the worlds most famous pieces of art. On the hunt for a new flatscreen? These are the best 4K TVs in 2021
