Museum of Bad Art Brings Worst Art to Widest Audience

Bad Art founder Scott Wilson launched the project after rescuing a painting, Lucy in the Field with Flowers, from between two garbage cans on a Roslindale sidewalk. After collecting a few other terrible pieces, in 1994 he opened the first MOBA in the basement of a West Roxbury house. Public interest and word of mouth led to the creation of a gallery in the basement of the Dedham Community Theater, where the growing collection resided until 2008, when it moved to a basement space in the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square, “conveniently located just outside the men’s room.” The museum also has galleries in the offices of the Brookline Interactive Group and at the New England Wildlife Center in South Weymouth. MOBA’s collection currently totals about 600 pieces, but only a fraction are on display at any given time. The museum’s website notes that 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 audience.” All submissions must pass through a rigorous review process (i.e., no children’s art or factory-made tourist pieces are considered). After a piece is accepted, the museum adds proper identification, including title, artist (if known), method of acquisition, and a humorous interpretation to complete the experience for patrons. MOBA’s collection can be viewed on its website, but trust us when we tell you that you can only fully appreciate the true magnitude of these masterpieces in person. Sunday on the Pot with George, a favorite, has been hailed as iconic by the Boston Globe, which also wrote that the work is “100 percent guaranteed to make you burst out laughing.” The Museum of Bad Art’s three galleries in Massachusetts: MOBA Brookline Gallery, 46 Tappan St., Brookline, open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; free admission; Somerville Theatre MOBA Gallery, 55 Davis Square, Somerville, open during concerts or when movies are being screened; free admission with purchase of a movie or concert ticket; find a schedule of current shows here; MOBA New England Wildlife Center Gallery, 500 Columbian St., South Weymouth, open Monday and Wedne...
