SalonMuseum art for your TV
Salon turns your Apple TV into a picture frame. 1,100+ paintings, prints, maps and photographs, each one chosen by hand and cut to fit your TV screen in 4K.
An Apple TV app. On your Apple TV, open the App Store and search for Salon Museum Art. It is listed as Salon: Museum Art Frame.
Handpicked by humans
Every picture looked at by a person
Open museum collections are full of work that is free to use and hopeless on a television: tall portraits, faint pencil drawings, the blank back of a sketchbook page. None of that is here.
What is here has been checked for shape, for sharpness, and for whether it still reads from across a room, then cut to 16:9 in full 4K, so it perfectly fits your TV.

On your wall
Nothing between you and the work
Made to be left on
A frame first, an app second
Framed. Or not
Edge to edge, or behind a bevel-cut mat in five board colours and three widths. A live preview shows the real thing while you choose.
A clock, if you want one
Time, or time and date, in any corner, twelve- or twenty-four-hour. It sits on the picture, never on the mat.
Your own slideshow
Save favourites and let the frame move through them every minute, five, fifteen, every hour or once a day. Your favourites follow you to every Apple TV on your account.
Offline is okay
The picture on your wall and your favourites are kept on the Apple TV, so the frame carries on when the connection drops.
Your own photos, framed
The photos you have marked as favourites in iCloud Photos hang in the same frame as the paintings, with the same mat and clock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a subscription?
No. Salon is a single purchase, with no in-app purchases, no subscription and no account.
Which Apple TV do I need?
Any Apple TV HD or Apple TV 4K with tvOS 17 or later.
Can I show my own photos?
Yes. Tap the heart on a photo on your iPhone and, through iCloud Photos, it appears in Your Photos in Salon, ready to hang in the same frame as the paintings. There is no album to make and nothing to upload, and the photos never leave your Apple TV.
Does it need the internet?
To browse the collection and add new pictures, yes. The picture on your wall and your favourites are kept on the Apple TV, so the frame keeps going if the connection drops.
Why is there no Picasso or Warhol?
Most art made after about 1930 is still under copyright almost everywhere, so no open collection can offer it. The paintings stop there; the photographs of space and of Earth come right up to the present day.
Why are some galleries small?
The museum galleries only show work that is public domain, flat, and wider than it is tall, so it fills a television. For some periods that leaves genuinely few pictures, and the app shows what exists rather than padding a gallery out.
How is Salon different from Samsung's Art Store?
Samsung's Art Store needs a Samsung TV that supports it, such as The Frame, and costs $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year in the US for the full catalogue. Salon works with the Apple TV you already have, on whatever TV it is plugged into, for a single purchase of $9.99. Salon compared with Samsung and the other art apps.
