Life may be more Mickey Mouse than Monet these days, but your walls need not reflect that. Room & Board is making it easier to look cultured and well traveled by partnering with online retailer BetterWall.com to bring limited-edition museum banners in-store for the first time.

Street banners originally designed to promote exhibitions at major institutions like the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art become art in their own right, sold for $300 to $800. The banners are now available at Room & Board in Edina and on Roomandboard.com. And no one has to know that the only museum you frequent sells plush Big Birds in its lobby shop.
