A shrine to the world's worst art is alive in Boston, MA. This haunting, yet delightful look at art found in thrift shops, trash cans and other odd places is rife with quality time wasting properties.

    bad art...?

    I am probably setting myself up to get crucified right now...but I see a lot of similarities between the paintings at the MoBA (Museum of Bad Art) and the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). Anyone else with me?

    The first time I went to Houston, about 1 year into 9 of dating my now-hubby, we went to Houston's MoMA and spent the entire time in hysterics. What a fun date!

    my old roommate acquired a piece of art on the street that was acquired by the Museum of Bad Art. It's a great little gallery.

    Rob, I understand what you're saying, but in defense of contemporary, conceptual art, I urge you to consider why exactly a person would choose to dump out contents of a vacuum cleaner onto the floor or why a kitchen mock-up would be made - and then called art. The artist is always trying to say something (sometimes something interesting, sometimes not) with this type of work, but there is an intention, a purpose, usually to provoke a particular thought.

    With this museum, the art is happening from the way in which the curators are presenting these pieces - ironically, humorously, and parodying, while at the same time honoring, the entire tradition of art.
