Museum of Bad Art Brings Worst Art to Widest Audience

A recent visit to the museum’s Brookline gallery (other locations are Somerville and South Weymouth, Mass.) confirms the boast. The installations are often hilarious, the captions so tongue-in-cheek they’re laugh-out-loud funny. Museum of 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...
