The Museum of Bad Art features a variety of carefully-chosen works, lovingly displayed in the basement of the Dedham Community Theatre in Boston, "just outside the men's room".
Its mandate: "the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms".
Some notable samples from its extensive collection:
"Lucy in the Field with Flowers" Oil on canvas by Unknown Commentary: "As with all great art, extended viewing reveals endless layers of mysteries: What is Norman Mailer's head doing on an innocent grandma's body, and are those crows or F-16's skimming the hills?" | Acrylic on canvas by Unknown Commentary: "A remarkable fusion of ski resort and wolf puppy — stoical in his yellow-eyed silence, frozen beneath the ice-capped peak, Dog elequently [sic] challenges the viewer to rexamine [sic] old concepts of landscape." |
"Sunday on the Pot With George" Acrylic on canvas by Unknown | By Jack Owen |
I don't know what this says about me, but some of them I kind of like.
