When collecting every LP and EP isn’t enough, showcasing your favorite artists on your walls is the next step to music superfandom. But not everyone wants to hang up their beloved catalog (and risk their records getting dusty or damaged) or hang those unframed music posters that you’ll find in every other college freshman’s dorm room. If you’re looking for something decidedly more grown-up, but still want to pay homage to your chart-topping heroes, then the best music prints and framed art can hit that decor mark.

One of our go-to sources for music photography is Fine Art America which stocks creative works as well as images of icons from the archives. These aren’t your typical framed memorabilia — many are stunning off-stage scenes shot by renowned photographers, so they make great cocktail party conversation starters. They’re officially-licensed for sale too, meaning you’re getting an authentic print and not a discount store knockoff.

We also like that the fine art and photo printing company lets you choose from a variety of sizes and formats, including acrylic, canvas, framed, wood, glass, metal, and prints. You can also select frame designs, photo finishes, mat color and width, among other options, ensuring that your art is customized to fit your decor style — and your space.

Best of all: everything can be ordered online and shipped (safely) to your door, ensuring that you can score a new piece of art without having to step foot in a gallery or store.
