If you cannot get the paintings in the right places, simply leave the museum and come back in, and they should be back in their original locations.
The solution to moving the 4 "wrong" paintings is to move them all clockwise from the wings they are in:
Upper left (center) goes to upper right (right).
Upper right (right) goes to lower right (right).
Lower right (right) goes to lower left (center).
Lower left (center) goes to upper left (center).
Where the paintings go (if out of order):
Sunrise - upper right wing
Violin player - lower right
Three people - lower left
Abstract cat - upper left
Well, I don't know if it's possible to do something wrong on counterfeit. There are some islands that have certain parts where you can do something wrong, but if you come across a hard part and mess up, click the counterfeit island map and restart the island.
all you do is click then click on the other painting in the next area you want it to be
click on a painting, and it will either come into your hands if it is one of the mixed up paintings,or your guy will say,"i think this belongs in the right place"
paintings mess up
you put the paintings in a rotational order going left. then, go to the guy up stairs and you go in to the forgery dectection lab.
the music painting goes in Expressionism, the cat painting goes in Cubeism, the water pianting goes in Impressionism, and the climbing painting goes in realism.
get up to the statues and crouch :)
Reality t.v island
easy go up to him and you'll get a balloon
In her secret lair.
There are no sharp tools on Counterfeit Island. The balloons are popped by clicking them, and you free yourself from the chair by "scooting" it backward to the shady guy who is also tied up.
For the torn pieces of paper, you just walk into them (there are 6). For the museum paintings, you can only move the four that are hung in the wrong spots. Rearrange them to the proper spots one by one. (see related questions)
