MUSEUM OF BAD ART

580 High Street Dedham, MA

The stuffy, old art musuem is a thing of the past. Check out the Musuem of Bad Art's collection of portraits that are so bad, that they're actually kind of nice.  No, it's not a typo. This musuem really does specialize in displaying bad art. In fact, MOBA is the only musuem in the country that exhibits bad art - well, the only one that admits it.

Call MOBA at 1-781-444-6757.
