Footballer David Beckham and his wife Victoria have an art collection worth almost $44 million and are now planning to put it on public display.

The entire collection, bought over eight years, is “love themed”.

It includes paintings, portraits and sculptures by Damien Hirst, Sam Taylor Wood, Tracey Emin, Banksy, and Jake and Dinos Chapman, mirror.co.uk reported.

Some of the art is openly sentimental but other pieces like Hirst’s bull’s heart stabbed with scalpels, speak to the trials and tribulations of modern romance.

The works are currently gracing the Beckhams’ homes in London, Milan and Los Angeles and could now go on public display.

Victoria is rumored to be in talk with a museum to showcase some of their pieces, all of which are love tokens given as gifts for special occasions.

Most of the works from the Beckham’s collection have been purchased from The White Cube gallery in London.
