The Artist's Studio (Japanese: アトリエ Atelier) is the final room that must be cleared in Luigi's Mansion and it can be found by Luigi in the fourth area of the mansion.
Story[]
Using the key that Luigi received from the Cold Storage, he can open the door to The Artist's Studio. He saw the ghostly painter, Vincent Van Gore, painting away at a picture of a treasure chest. He got mad at the novice ghost-hunter for failing to understand the life he gave his paintings. Van Gore locks Luigi in the room and summons his ghosts from the paintings lining the room. Three each of Gold Ghost, Purple Punchers, Blue Twirlers, Grabbing Ghosts, Shy Guy Ghosts, Garbage Can Ghosts, and Purple Bombers attack Luigi, one set at a time. Luigi sucked them all up, three by three, into his vacuum. With his creations gone, Vincent Van Gore gave up. Luigi was able to overcome the old ghost's weak pull and capture him. The plumber received the golden spade-shaped Key to the Secret Altar from the treasure chest painting.
The Artist's Studio contains the eight paintings mentioned, all lined up in a row along the back wall, except the treasure chest painting, which stands on the east wall. Two two-tiered shelves of art supplies are behind the easels. A small stool is in the southwest corner.

Trivia[]
- Interestingly enough, sculptures of both Lydia and Biff Atlas are on the shelves.
- There is a glitch where the key will disappear if you leave the room without getting the key. If you save the game and go back in after restarting the game, the key will reappear, but the room turns dark, preventing you from getting the last Boo. This bug was fixed in 3DS version.
- With an Action Replay code, you can open any door, including the locked ones, if you manage to leave the room after capturing the Garbage Can Ghosts and exit without capturing the Purple Bombers. If you walk away from the room, upon returning, all of Vincent Van Gore's ghosts will Respawn at the same time, giving a total of 22 ghosts, counting Vincent Van Gore. If the glitch is done in Hidden Mansion PAL, the game crashes due to the excess of ghosts in the same room; the game cannot support more than 25 ghosts. This crash can be prevented if you only catch ghosts until the Ghost Guys spawn; that's a total of 21 Ghosts. However, the ghost is lost forever if you save after entering without capturing Vincent Van Gore.
