Museum of Bad Art
Museum dedicated to awful artwork
Category Outsider Art
Underneath the Dedham Community Theater, this little gem of an art gallery has since 1994 sought to preserve horrible artwork. Known as MOBA (the Museum of Bad Art), the collection started one night when founder Scott Wilson pulled the first piece, dubbed Lucy in the Field with Flowers, out of a trash heap. Since then, the collection has grown to fill two galleries, with numerous horrific works. There is another underground gallery in the basement of the Somerville Theater in Davis Square, Somerville, MA.

There is also a MOBA branch in the basement of the Somerville Theatre, in Davis Square, right next to the men's room. Free admission with the purchase of a ticket. Open whenever films are running.

In my career as a professional picture framer I've seen a fair number of likely candidates for the MOBA collection...(shudders, pours himself a stiff drink)
