Photo Flash: The Museum of Bad Art Features MANA LISA, SUNDAY IN THE POT WITH GEORGE and More!
By: Christina Mancuso Aug. 14, 2013
Since 1994, the Museum of Bad Art has been dedicated to bad art. It is only through the efforts of the worldwide Friends of MOBA that we have been able to carry out our mission: to bring the worst of art to the widest of audiences. Check out some of the exhibits below!
The collection numbers about 600 pieces, but due to limited exhibition space, they show 50 to 70 at a time. Each piece is presented with the kind of descriptive narrative you will find with the art here.For more information, visit: http://www.museumofbadart.org/
