Here is The Museum of Bad Art, or MOBA, the museum dedicated to the ugliest artworks, or more precisely to art too bad to be ignored. This amazing museum, founded in 1993 by the American antique dealer Scott Wilson, today has a collection of 60 artworks whose first acquisition, Lucy in the Field with Flowers, was found in a garbage can. The paintings are selected for their singular qualities which distinguish them from pure incompetence. The Museum of Bad Art is located in the basement of the Dedham Community Theater, near Boston, and you can view its complete collection online. Via: Ufunk
