Classic art, prepared for easy TV viewing.
The Family Gallery TV is a physical USB flash drive loaded with more than 1000 captioned JPEG images of classic art.
What arrives
Your order includes a USB flash drive containing 1000+ digital classic masterpieces prepared for broad compatibility and loaded with captioned artwork. Each image includes the title and artist in a clean bar along the bottom, making the collection enjoyable as both décor and informal art education.
A place to begin learning
You do not need an art history background to enjoy the collection. The captions give adults a name to remember or explore further, while families can pause at a painting and ask what each person notices. A few minutes of looking together can become a new shared interest.
No cropping. The complete painting.
Vermeer did not paint on a 16:9 television-shaped canvas—so why would we cut his art to fit one? Family Gallery preserves every painting in its original proportions. We never crop or stretch a work to fill the screen; instead, a thoughtfully coordinated background is used where needed so you can see the artist’s complete composition, including every figure, object, brushstroke, and carefully chosen edge.
We handle the formatting for you
Preformatted in FAT32, ready for your TV. We format the USB for you in FAT32, a widely supported format for TV USB playback, and preload the artwork. For TVs that support FAT32 USB JPEG slideshows, there is no formatting or file setup to figure out—just plug it in and open your TV’s photo player.
How you use it
- Plug the USB into a USB port on the television.
- Open the TV’s Photos, USB, Media Player, Gallery, or Connected Devices area.
- Select an image and choose Slideshow or Play.
- Turn on Repeat or Loop, then choose a display interval—45 to 90 seconds is a comfortable starting point.
What your television needs
USB ports have been a common television feature for roughly the past decade. Your TV should also be able to display JPEG photos from USB storage. Menu names vary by manufacturer and model. If your TV does not support USB photo slideshows, a digital photo frame may be another option.
