The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) is the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms.
Over the coming months, we will be doing some renovations to our online galleries. Of course, we will remain open in the interim! Please mind the virtual dust as we make room for our growing Collection. Click below to start the tour :
We wish to announce the grand opening of a new wing of our virtual museum - the Guest Interpretator's Collection. A bold and daring series, this growing collection shows you the erudition of our appreciative audience.
Coming soon: you will have a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes at MOBA - the Curator's Blog.
About MOBA
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.
MOBA maintains this website as well as the largest network of theatre-basement exhibition venues on Earth. That is, we have not one, but two galleries in the basements of the Somerville Theater in Davis Square,
Somerville, MA, and the Dedham Community Theatre in Dedham Square, MA. Through traveling exhibits, special events, and changing exhibits, we share the best bad art ever assembled in one or two museums.
Our collection numbers almost 400 pieces, but due to limited exhibition space, we show 30 to 40 at a time. Each piece is presented with the kind of descriptive narrative you will find with the art here.
