Museum of Bad Art and its collection
Source
The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) is a unique private museum with two locations in Massachusetts, USA - one in Somerville and the other in Brookline. It is dedicated to showcasing the works of artists that would otherwise not be displayed or appreciated. The museum's collection includes 500 pieces that are 'too bad to be ignored', with 25 to 35 works on display at any given time.
The Second Gallery of the Museum
In 2008, a second gallery of the Museum of Bad Art was opened in the Somerville Theatre on Davis Square in Somerville, Massachusetts. While the original gallery is free and open to the public, access to the second gallery is only free for visitors of the theatre. This provides an interesting opportunity for tourists to combine a visit to the museum with a theatre experience.
Information Provided for Each Artwork
Each painting and sculpture in the Museum of Bad Art is accompanied by a brief description of the medium, size, and name of the artist, as well as the history of acquisition and an analysis of the possible artistic intention. This provides visitors with a deeper understanding of the works and the context in which they were created.
