print email comment close Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) URL: http://www.museumofbadart.org Description: MOBA "is the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition, and celebration of bad art in all its forms." The site exhibits some of MOBA's portraits, landscapes, and portrayals of "unseen forces"; the collection is composed of works with "a special quality that sets them apart in one way or another from the merely incompetent." The commentary and staff interviews about these treasures (many from thrift stores and trash heaps) cleverly spoof gallery-speak.
