Salon takes its cues from museum salon walls, with images arranged like collected works and captions treated as wall labels. Bodoni Moda and Hanken Grotesk pair expressive headings with clear supporting text for an art-history feel.

This custom HTML theme for Tumblr’s desktop web supports all Tumblr post types. Reblog trails and tags are included, as are search and pages. Readers can also use an ask box. Choose Wall and Text colours, then adjust Accent and Label Grey. Toggle Dark Room or One Work Per Row. A text field lets you add your own Gallery Hours.
