A magnetic calendar (20), which may be of the perpetual type, includes a non-ferromagnetic body portion (22) which is preferably rectangular and preferably substantially planar, having a front surface (24) and back surface (26) for abutting a metal surface (38). The front surface (24) of the body portion (22) is divided into a plurality of segments (28) forming a grid-like section (30). The segments (28) may display artwork (58) such as a small pictorial (66), a portion of a large pictorial (64), or a phrase (60). The magnetic pieces (32) adhere to the front surface (24) of the non-ferromagnetic body portion (22) and may include a feature (33) such as indicia (36), an occasion (35), or a holiday (37) affixed thereon. The magnetic pieces (32) may cover at least a portion of the artwork (58). The magnetic attractive force which adheres each magnetic piece (32) to the front surface (24) of the magnetic calendar (20) is formed between the magnetic strip (44) contained in each magnetic piece (32) and the metal surface (38) of the item to be attached to. The magnetic force acts through the body portion (22), which is preferably made of laminated construction and adheres the magnetic pieces (32) to the non-ferromagnetic body portion (22).
