Galleries of Note: The Museum of Bad Art

What can I say? There are collections that so encapsulate and define the movement they intend to record that the gallery itself becomes an artistic achievement. When the works themselves are simply pointillistic splotches in a cohesive whole that overwhelms the sum of parts the word "museum" seems, somehow, inadequate. This then, is a tribute to inadequacy.

The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA), by it's own admission, is the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms. The collection of portraiture is particularly poignant. From Lucy in the Field with Flowers to Sunday on the Pot with George the pieces resonate with artistic fervor and need. Countless hours can be spent in rapt contemplation of the unshaven vulnerability of Pauline Resting. Never before has a collection so stirred me. I'm going to need a moment alone.

Also, they have cool t-shirts.
