Museum of Bad Art

[kennedy]

Did anyone know about this? It was the featured article today on Wikipedia...I had no idea it existed. Somerville and Dedham are the locations.

The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) is a privately owned museum whose stated aim is "to celebrate the labor of artists whose work would be displayed and appreciated in no other forum". It has two branches, one in Dedham, Massachusetts, United States, and the other in nearby Somerville. Its permanent collection includes 500 pieces of "art too bad to be ignored", 25 to 35 of which are on public display at any one time.

I also didn't know it had a theft problem!

(and fake security cameras to deal with it)

Do we really need another thread on the ICA?

The MOBA is one of those jokes that always seems to teeter of the edge of going overboard, but somehow never does.
