That grim farmer couple in American Gothic came from a real house.

Grant Wood spotted it in a tiny town in Iowa, liked the little Gothic window, and sketched it on the back of an envelope.

The house still stands, and people drive up to pose in front of it exactly like the painting.

A lot of the paintings you know best are tied to a real place you could actually walk to.

A quiet canal in Delft. A café in Arles. A bare hillside in Maine.

We mapped out where these famous scenes really are.
