(CBS/What's Trending) - They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but does that saying apply to things you can't actually see? This week a woman purchased an invisible piece of artwork for the hefty price of $10,000 from the Museum of Non-Visible Art.

Backed (somewhat unsurprisingly) by actor James Franco, the museum specializes in selling pieces of art that are only imagined by the artists: Instead of a painting or sculpture, buyers receive a simple card with the artist's name, the work's title and specific instructions to describe the artwork to admirers however they'd like.

While some may have $10,000 to drop on invisible art, starting your own collection doesn't have to be as expensive or even half as bizarre. We've collected some of the best ways to start a personal gallery, celebrate art and maybe even get involved yourself.
